Newborn aff by uterin (fetal) blood loss from ruptured cord

This code identifies a newborn experiencing anemia or other complications due to significant blood loss that occurred before birth, specifically caused by a rupture of the umbilical cord while still in utero. This condition can lead to hypovolemia, shock, and other severe neonatal morbidities.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a newborn's clinical presentation (e.g., pallor, low hemoglobin/hematocrit at birth, signs of shock) is directly attributed to an antenatal umbilical cord rupture. Supporting documentation would include obstetric records detailing the cord rupture event and neonatal records confirming the resulting blood loss and its impact on the infant.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "ruptured cord" as the cause of intrauterine blood loss, not other forms of fetal hemorrhage.
• Code any associated conditions or complications in the newborn, such as anemia (P61.3) or shock, as secondary diagnoses.
• This code is for the newborn affected by the event; the maternal record would use codes related to complications of labor and delivery.
