Newborn affected by oligohydramnios
ICD-10 P01.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of newborn affected by oligohydramnios.
Oligohydramnios refers to a condition characterized by a deficiency of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus during pregnancy. This condition can significantly impact fetal development and is often associated with maternal complications such as incompetent cervix, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), and multiple pregnancies. Incompetent cervix can lead to premature birth, which may result in oligohydramnios due to reduced fetal urine output. PROM can cause a decrease in amniotic fluid levels, leading to oligohydramnios, which can affect lung development and increase the risk of neonatal complications. In cases of multiple pregnancies, the risk of oligohydramnios is heightened due to the shared uterine space and potential for placental insufficiency. Newborns affected by oligohydramnios may present with various complications, including pulmonary hypoplasia, limb deformities, and facial deformities, necessitating careful monitoring and management in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Detailed neonatal assessments, including gestational age, birth weight, and any immediate complications.
Newborns presenting with respiratory distress due to pulmonary hypoplasia secondary to oligohydramnios.
Close monitoring for developmental delays and other long-term outcomes related to oligohydramnios.
Comprehensive pediatric evaluations focusing on growth and development milestones.
Follow-up visits for newborns with a history of oligohydramnios to assess ongoing health and developmental progress.
Awareness of potential long-term effects of oligohydramnios on pediatric health.
Used for newborns affected by oligohydramnios requiring initial evaluation in the NICU.
Documentation of the newborn's condition, gestational age, and any immediate interventions.
Neonatologists should ensure comprehensive assessments are documented.
Common complications include pulmonary hypoplasia, limb deformities, and facial deformities. These conditions arise due to the lack of amniotic fluid, which is crucial for normal fetal development.
