  • anaphylactic shock due to correct medicinal substance properly administered (T88.6)
  • anaphylactic shock due to serum (T80.5-)
  • anaphylactic shock NOS (T78.2)
  • electric shock (T75.4)
  • nontraumatic shock NEC (R57.-)
  • obstetric shock (O75.1)
  • postprocedural shock (T81.1-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19

The conditions below are not part of T79.4XXD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T79.4XXD and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from T79

The conditions below are not part of T79.4XXD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T79.4XXD and the excluded code may both be reported.
