Other venous complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy
ICD-10 O04.85 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other venous complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy.
O04.85 refers to various venous complications that may arise following an induced termination of pregnancy, including medical abortions and therapeutic terminations. These complications can manifest as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), superficial venous thrombosis, or other venous disorders that may occur due to changes in blood flow, hormonal fluctuations, or surgical interventions associated with the termination process. Clinicians must monitor patients for signs of venous complications, particularly in those with pre-existing risk factors such as obesity, history of venous thromboembolism, or prolonged immobility post-procedure. Proper management and follow-up care are essential to mitigate risks and ensure patient safety during the recovery phase.
Detailed documentation of the procedure performed, patient history, and any complications encountered during or after the termination.
Patients presenting with complications such as DVT or superficial thrombophlebitis following a medical abortion.
Ensure accurate coding of the type of termination and any associated complications to avoid misrepresentation of the patient's condition.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal age, pre-existing conditions, and any complications during the termination process.
Management of patients with a history of thromboembolic events undergoing termination.
Consideration of the patient's overall health status and potential for complications is crucial for accurate coding.
Used when a patient undergoes a surgical termination and experiences complications.
Documentation must include details of the procedure, any complications, and follow-up care.
Obstetricians must ensure that all aspects of care are documented to support coding.
Common venous complications include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and superficial venous thrombosis, which can occur due to changes in blood flow and hormonal factors post-procedure.
