Venous complication in pregnancy, unspecified, second trimester
ICD-10 O22.92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of venous complication in pregnancy, unspecified, second trimester.
Venous complications during pregnancy, particularly in the second trimester, can manifest as a range of conditions including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and superficial venous thrombosis. These complications arise due to physiological changes in the body, such as increased blood volume and hormonal changes that affect coagulation. The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is heightened during pregnancy due to factors like venous stasis, increased coagulability, and vascular endothelial changes. Symptoms may include swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected limb, and in severe cases, can lead to pulmonary embolism. Accurate diagnosis often requires imaging studies such as Doppler ultrasound. Management may involve anticoagulation therapy, which must be carefully monitored to balance the risks of thrombosis against potential bleeding complications. This code is used when the specific type of venous complication is not documented, necessitating thorough clinical documentation to ensure appropriate coding and treatment.
Detailed clinical notes including symptoms, diagnostic imaging, and treatment plans.
Pregnant patients presenting with leg swelling, pain, or tenderness; patients with a history of thrombosis.
Consideration of anticoagulation management and monitoring during pregnancy.
Comprehensive documentation for high-risk pregnancies, including maternal and fetal assessments.
Management of pregnant patients with a history of VTE or other risk factors.
In-depth evaluation of maternal health and fetal implications of anticoagulation therapy.
Used to evaluate suspected DVT in a pregnant patient.
Document indication for ultrasound and findings.
Ensure that the ultrasound report is linked to the diagnosis of venous complications.
Common symptoms include leg swelling, pain, tenderness, and in severe cases, signs of pulmonary embolism such as shortness of breath or chest pain.
