Vacuum-assisted vaginal deliveries can cause significant fetal morbidity, including scalp lacerations, cephalohematomas, subgaleal hematomas, intracranial hemorrhage, facial nerve palsies, hyperbilirubinemia, and retinal hemorrhage. The risk of such complications is estimated at around 5%.
Overview. A vacuum extraction — also called vacuum-assisted delivery — is a procedure sometimes done during the course of vaginal childbirth.
ICD-10 code O80 for Encounter for full-term uncomplicated delivery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium .
As a result, the simple ICD-9 procedure code for labor induction, 73.4 (“Medical Induction of Labor”), has been replaced with the rather generic and opaque ICD-10-PCS procedure code: 3E033VJ (“Introduction of other hormone into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach”).
Subgaleal hematoma It occurs when blood accumulates just under the scalp. Since the subgaleal space is large, a significant amount of blood can be lost in this area of the skull. This is why subgaleal hematoma is considered to be the most dangerous complication of vacuum-assisted delivery.
A vacuum extraction is a type of assisted delivery. During a vaginal delivery that has stalled — for example, the baby simply hasn't moved during the past few hours — a doctor will place a suction cup with a handle on the baby's head to help guide her through the birth canal and into the world.
Vacuum delivery side effects for babies may include:Bleeding under the brain.Bleeding under the scalp.Bruising and swelling of baby's head.Lacerations.Misshapen head.Skull fractures.Weakness or paralysis on one side of body.

During vaginal delivery, your doctor may use a vacuum to help remove your baby from the birth canal. This procedure makes delivery more rapid. It may be needed to avoid injury to the baby and to avoid cesarean section.
A ventouse (vacuum cup) is attached to the baby's head by suction. A soft or hard plastic or metal cup is attached by a tube to a suction device. The cup fits firmly on to your baby's head. During a contraction and with the help of your pushing, the obstetrician or midwife gently pulls to help deliver your baby.
Some of the most common are:Vaginal Birth.Natural Birth.Scheduled Cesarean.Unplanned Cesarean.Vaginal Birth after C-Section (VBAC)Scheduled Induction.
Women experienced more pain during vacuum extraction than during SSCS, but they reported less pain in the first 24 hours after birth (Table 3). One day after vacuum extraction 91.6% (263/287) of women had no pain or mild pain (NPRS 0–4), vs. 62.6% (223/356) after SSCS (OR 6.54; 95%CI 4.09–10.46).
The use of a vacuum during delivery has become more common than forceps. That's because a vacuum generally requires less anesthesia and pain-relieving medications than forceps. A vacuum is associated with less risk for a needing a cesarean delivery when compared to forceps.
Fourth-degree vaginal tears are the most severe. They extend through the anal sphincter and into the mucous membrane that lines the rectum (rectal mucosa). Fourth-degree tears usually require repair with anesthesia in an operating room — rather than the delivery room — and sometimes require more specialized repair.
The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.

Code O80 Encounter for full term uncomplicated delivery is assigned as the principal diagnosis for delivery admissions that meet the following criteria (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.n): 1 Vaginal delivery at full term 2 No accompanying instrumentation (episiotomy is ok) 3 Single, healthy infant 4 No unresolved antepartum complications 5 No complications of labor or delivery 6 No postpartum complications during the delivery admission
Coding of vaginal deliveries requires a minimum of 3 codes; a principal diagnosis code, an outcome of delivery code and a weeks of gestation code. Fortunately, there are guidelines and notes to provide direction in properly assigning these codes.
For delivery admissions, the principal diagnosis is the condition that prompted the admission. If multiple conditions prompted the admission, the condition most related to the delivery is the principal diagnosis (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.b.4).
The notes at the beginning of Chapter 15 Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium indicate that in addition to the Chapter 15 codes, the coder should assign a code from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known. The guidelines provide further direction, ...
