ICD-10 code O03. 37 for Sepsis following incomplete spontaneous abortion is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium .
Septic abortion refers to any abortion, spontaneous or induced, that is complicated by uterine infection, including endometritis. Septic abortion typically refers to pregnancies of less than 20 weeks gestation while those ≥20 weeks gestation with intrauterine infection are described as having intraamniotic infection.
In abortions, two main factors can contribute to the onset of sepsis and septic shock. They are: an incomplete abortion: pieces of pregnancy tissue remain in the body after a spontaneous or induced abortion, both medical and surgical. bacterial infection in the uterus during a surgical or self-induced abortion.
Septicemia – There is NO code for septicemia in ICD-10. Instead, you're directed to a combination 'A' code for sepsis to indicate the underlying infection, such A41. 9 (Sepsis, unspecified organism) for septicemia with no further detail.
Diagnosis of Septic Abortion Septic abortion is usually obvious clinically, typically based on finding severe infection in women who are pregnant. Ultrasonography should be done to check for retained products of conception as a possible cause.
The mainstay of treatment of septic abortion is antibiotic therapy alone or in combination with evacuation of retained products of conception. Regimens including broad‐spectrum antibiotics are routinely recommended for treatment.
Acute complications of septic abortion are seen in advanced stages of the disease process and include the respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, renal failure, abscess formation, septic pelvic vein thrombophlebitis and septic emboli, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy; death may also occur.
If you have passed all the pregnancy tissues, it's considered a complete miscarriage. This is common for miscarriages occurring before 12 weeks. Septic miscarriage. If you develop an infection in your uterus, it's known as a septic miscarriage.
Besides acute hemorrhage, post-abortion complications can include septic shock, perforated bladder or bowel, and a possible ectopic pregnancy- all conditions which if not promptly diagnosed can lead to high mortality.
If severe sepsis develops during the hospital stay, code the systemic infection code 995.92 and organ dysfunction should be sequenced as a secondary diagnosis. Septic shock generally refers to circulatory failure associated with severe sepsis, and therefore represents a type of acute organ dysfunction.
ICD-10 code R65. 20 for Severe sepsis without septic shock is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Coding tips: According to the guidelines, for all cases of documented septic shock, the code for the underlying systemic infection (i.e., sepsis) should be sequenced first, followed by code R65. 21 or T81.
O04.87 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of sepsis following (induced) termination of pregnancy. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside the uterus. [note 1] An abortion which occurs spontaneously is also known as a miscarriage. An abortion may be caused purposely and is then called an induced abortion, or less frequently, "induced miscarriage". The word abortion is often used to mean only induced abortions. A similar procedure after the fetus could potentially survive outside the womb is known as a "late termination of pregnancy".
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes.
