Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginally

This code identifies a newborn who was born alive as a single birth and whose delivery occurred through the vaginal canal. It signifies a successful, non-cesarean birth of one viable infant.

Apply this code to the birth record of a single infant delivered vaginally. This is typically used for the newborn's chart to document the mode of delivery and singleton status. It is appropriate when there are no complications noted regarding the delivery method itself.

• Always assign this code to the newborn's chart, not the mother's.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "vaginal delivery" and "single liveborn" to support this code.
• Do not use this code if the delivery was by cesarean section or if multiple births occurred.
