Q&A: Reporting intubation and CPR with no chest compressions

Q: We had a patient come into our ED with a severe head injury. To protect his airway, we intubated the patient. Can we report an emergency endotracheal intubation (CPT® code 31500) and CPR (92950) together if only bagging happens and no chest compressions?
