With latest advances in treatment options, the mortality rate for septic shock has decreased to 30-40%. Early diagnosis and aggressive antibiotic therapy within 6 hours of establishing the diagnosis has played a significant role in improving clinical outcome.
The systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) to infection, manifested by at least two of:
Medications. A number of medications are used in treating sepsis and septic shock. They include: Antibiotics. Treatment with antibiotics begins as soon as possible. Broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are effective against a variety of bacteria, are usually used first. After learning the results of blood tests, your doctor may switch to a ...
Septic shock linked to high mortality rates among patients with hematologic malignancies
Postprocedural infection and postprocedural septic shock: If the patient develops postprocedural infection which has resulted in severe sepsis, the code for the precipitating complication should be assigned first, such as, T81. 4, Infection following a procedure, or O86. 0, Infection of obstetrical surgical wound.
Other postprocedural complications and disorders of nervous system. G97. 82 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10 code R65. 21 for Severe sepsis with septic shock is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 code Z98. 890 for Other specified postprocedural states is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
The 2019 Guidelines also added the following language for sepsis due to a postprocedural infection: For infections following infusion, transfusion, therapeutic injection, or immunization, a code from subcategory T80. 2-, or code T88. 0-, should be coded first, followed by the code for the specific infection.
subcategory R65.2If the patient has severe sepsis, a code from subcategory R65. 2 should also be assigned as a secondary diagnosis.
sepsis. Septic shock is a severe complication of sepsis that can include very low blood pressure, an altered mental state, and organ dysfunction. It has a hospital mortality rate of 30–50 percent , making it very dangerous if not treated quickly.
Definition. the condition of a patient in the period following a surgical operation. [

Postprocedural endotoxic shock resulting from a procedure, not elsewhere classified. Postprocedural gram-negative shock resulting from a procedure, not elsewhere classified. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.

Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
