Newborn affected by placenta previa
ICD-10 P02.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of newborn affected by placenta previa.
Newborns affected by placenta previa are those who experience complications due to the abnormal positioning of the placenta, which can lead to significant maternal and neonatal risks. Placenta previa occurs when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, potentially causing bleeding during pregnancy and delivery. In neonates, this condition can lead to preterm birth, low birth weight, and respiratory distress syndrome due to the need for early delivery. Additionally, newborns may be affected by associated complications such as chorioamnionitis, which is an infection of the membranes surrounding the fetus, and cord prolapse, where the umbilical cord slips ahead of the presenting part of the fetus, leading to potential cord compression. These complications necessitate careful monitoring and management in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to ensure optimal outcomes for affected infants.
Detailed records of the newborn's condition, gestational age, and any interventions performed.
Management of preterm infants born to mothers with placenta previa, monitoring for respiratory distress and infection.
Ensure accurate coding of any additional neonatal complications that arise.
Comprehensive history of the newborn's perinatal period, including maternal health and delivery details.
Follow-up care for infants with low birth weight or developmental delays due to complications from placenta previa.
Consider the long-term implications of perinatal complications on pediatric health.
Used for newborns requiring monitoring due to complications from placenta previa.
Document the newborn's condition, any interventions, and ongoing assessments.
Neonatologists should ensure that all relevant complications are documented.
Key documentation requirements include a detailed account of the maternal health history, specifics of the delivery, any complications encountered, and the newborn's clinical status at birth and during NICU admission.
