Retained intrauterine contraceptive device in pregnancy, unspecified trimester
ICD-10 O26.30 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of retained intrauterine contraceptive device in pregnancy, unspecified trimester.
The diagnosis code O26.30 refers to the presence of a retained intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) during pregnancy, without specification of the trimester. This condition can complicate pregnancy due to potential risks such as miscarriage, preterm labor, and infection. The retained IUD may cause uterine irritation or inflammation, leading to maternal discomfort and necessitating careful monitoring. Management typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine specialists, to assess the risks and determine the best course of action, which may include removal of the device if deemed safe. The presence of an IUD during pregnancy requires thorough documentation of maternal health, including any pre-existing conditions such as renal, cardiac, or respiratory issues that may complicate the pregnancy further. The clinician must evaluate the potential impact of these conditions on both maternal and fetal health, ensuring that appropriate care plans are established.
Detailed documentation of the patient's obstetric history, current pregnancy status, and any complications related to the retained IUD.
Management of a pregnant patient presenting with retained IUD, assessment of risks, and planning for delivery.
Consideration of maternal health conditions such as hypertension or diabetes that may affect management.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal comorbidities and their management.
Monitoring of a high-risk pregnancy with a retained IUD and associated maternal health issues.
In-depth evaluation of fetal well-being and potential interventions.
Used when a patient presents for IUD insertion prior to pregnancy.
Document the indication for insertion and patient consent.
Obstetricians should ensure that the patient is counseled on the risks of IUD use.
Documentation should include the presence of the retained IUD, any complications experienced by the patient, the trimester of pregnancy, and any relevant maternal health conditions that may complicate care.
