Maternal care for other rhesus isoimmunization, third trimester (not applicable or unspecified)
ICD-10 O36.0930 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for other rhesus isoimmunization, third trimester (not applicable or unspecified).
Maternal care for rhesus isoimmunization refers to the management of pregnant women who have developed antibodies against Rh-positive blood cells, which can affect the fetus. In the third trimester, careful monitoring is crucial as the risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn increases. This condition can lead to fetal problems such as anemia, jaundice, and even fetal distress due to compromised oxygen delivery. Growth restriction may also occur if the fetus is unable to receive adequate nutrients and oxygen due to placental insufficiency. Maternal care involves regular ultrasounds to assess fetal growth, non-stress tests to monitor fetal heart rate, and potentially intrauterine transfusions if severe anemia is detected. The management plan may include administering Rh immunoglobulin (RhoGAM) to prevent further sensitization and protect future pregnancies. Close collaboration among obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and pediatricians is essential to ensure optimal outcomes for both mother and child.
Detailed records of maternal blood type, antibody screening results, and fetal monitoring.
Management of a pregnant woman with a history of Rh sensitization presenting for routine prenatal care.
Ensure all maternal and fetal assessments are documented to support the complexity of care provided.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal history and fetal assessments.
A patient with Rh isoimmunization requiring close monitoring and potential intervention.
Focus on the implications of isoimmunization on fetal health and the need for interdisciplinary communication.
Used to monitor fetal growth and assess for signs of distress in patients with isoimmunization.
Document the reason for the ultrasound and findings related to fetal health.
Ensure that the ultrasound findings are linked to the maternal condition for accurate coding.
Coding O36.0930 is crucial for accurately reflecting the complexity of care provided to pregnant women with rhesus isoimmunization, ensuring appropriate management and follow-up for both maternal and fetal health.
