An emergency descent is no defferent than a normal VNAV PATH descent other than the higher ROD and MACH number
Now just go carefully there! It's very different, in PATH, the aircraft follows a line in space, with speed and thrust changing to achieve it, whilst the ED is flown at constant selected speed.
