Status post cardiac arrest: Secondary to massive pulmonary embolism causing obstructive shock

How to Code?

Cardiogenic shock?

vparent@emhs.org

I would code the PE as the principle but query for a higher level of specificity (such as saddle) I would also query if associated with acute cor pulmonale and would use other specified shock to code the shock.
