What ICD-10 Codes Are Used for Hemorrhagic Shock?

Hemorrhagic shock is a severe and life-threatening condition when the body begins to shut down due to large amounts of blood loss. Here are the standard Hemorrhagic Shock ICD codes:

• R57.1: Hypovolemic shock. This code represents hypovolemic shock, which often results from significant blood loss, as seen in hemorrhagic shock.
• R57.8: Other shock. If more specific codes aren't available, this code may be used for various shock conditions, including hemorrhagic shock.
• R58: Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified. This code represents hemorrhage that hasn't been classified elsewhere but can be associated with hemorrhagic shock.‍
• T79.4XXA: Traumatic shock. This code denotes a state of shock following trauma, which may include hemorrhagic shock.
