CPT for Doc running a Code

I have a doc that "ran a code", patient still passed. What CPT would I charge? This was IN patient setting. Any advice would be helpful! Thank you!

use

92950 if she ran the code. If the patient died, the doc could also use the discharge code 99238 since only the doctor declaring the patient dead can (and is the only one allowed to) charge the discharge day service even if they are not the one responsible for the discharge summary.
