Sextuplets, all liveborn

This code indicates a completed pregnancy resulting in the birth of six live infants. It specifically refers to the outcome of a sextuplet delivery where all six babies were born alive.

This code is used on the mother's record to denote the outcome of a sextuplet delivery when all six infants are liveborn. It is typically assigned after the delivery event has occurred and the live birth status of all six babies has been confirmed.

• Always assign this code to the mother's chart, not to the infants' charts.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the delivery of sextuplets and confirms all six were liveborn.
• This code is a "V" code (outcome of delivery) and should be used in conjunction with codes from Chapter 15 (Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium) to fully describe the delivery.
