Specific Coding Applicable to Postprocedural shock
Non-specific codes like T81.1 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for postprocedural shock:
T81.10 for Postprocedural shock unspecified - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.10XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.10XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.10XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
T81.11 for Postprocedural cardiogenic shock - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.11XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.11XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.11XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
T81.12 for Postprocedural septic shock - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.12XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.12XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.12XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
T81.19 for Other postprocedural shock - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.19XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.19XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T81.19XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
Coding Guidelines
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified (T81). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Shock during or resulting from a procedure, not elsewhere classified
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- anaphylactic shock NOS T78.2
- anaphylactic shock due to correct substance properly administered T88.6
- anaphylactic shock due to serum T80.5
- electric shock T75.4

Patient Education
Shock
Shock happens when not enough blood and oxygen can get to your organs and tissues. It causes very low blood pressure and may be life-threatening. It often happens along with a serious injury.
There are several kinds of shock. Hypovolemic shock happens when you lose a lot of blood or fluids. Causes include internal or external bleeding, dehydration, burns, and severe vomiting and/or diarrhea. Septic shock is caused by infections in the bloodstream. A severe allergic reaction can cause anaphylactic shock. An insect bite or sting might cause it. Cardiogenic shock happens when the heart cannot pump blood effectively. This may happen after a heart attack. Neurogenic shock is caused by damage to the nervous system.
Symptoms of shock include:
- Confusion or lack of alertness
- Loss of consciousness
- Sudden and ongoing rapid heartbeat
- Sweating
- Pale skin
- A weak pulse
- Rapid breathing
- Decreased or no urine output
- Cool hands and feet
Shock is a life-threatening medical emergency and it is important to get help right away. Treatment of shock depends on the cause.
