Cardiac arrest following incomplete spontaneous abortion
ICD-10 O03.36 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cardiac arrest following incomplete spontaneous abortion.
Cardiac arrest following an incomplete spontaneous abortion is a critical obstetric condition that arises when a pregnancy ends prematurely, typically before the 20th week of gestation, and is characterized by the retention of some fetal tissue. This condition can lead to severe complications, including hemorrhage and infection, which may precipitate cardiac arrest. Incomplete spontaneous abortion can occur due to various factors, including chromosomal abnormalities, maternal health issues, or uterine anomalies. The emotional impact on the patient can be profound, necessitating comprehensive emotional support and counseling. Clinicians must monitor vital signs closely and provide immediate medical intervention to manage complications effectively. The management of incomplete spontaneous abortion may involve surgical procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove retained products of conception, and it is crucial to ensure that the patient receives appropriate follow-up care to prevent further complications.
Detailed documentation of the patient's obstetric history, current pregnancy status, and any interventions performed.
Management of incomplete spontaneous abortion, counseling for emotional support, and surgical interventions.
Ensure accurate coding of complications and emotional support services provided.
Thorough documentation of high-risk factors, maternal health conditions, and fetal monitoring.
Management of high-risk pregnancies with potential for miscarriage and associated complications.
Focus on the complexities of maternal-fetal interactions and the need for specialized care.
Used for surgical management of incomplete spontaneous abortion.
Document the indication for the procedure and any complications encountered.
Ensure that the procedure is linked to the appropriate diagnosis.
Documentation must include the patient's obstetric history, details of the incomplete abortion, any interventions performed, and the circumstances surrounding the cardiac arrest. Emotional support provided should also be documented.
