Twin liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean

This code identifies a liveborn infant who is one of a twin pair and was delivered via cesarean section. It signifies the birth event and the specific delivery method for this individual twin.

Apply this code to the medical record of a twin infant who was born alive and whose delivery was accomplished through a cesarean section. This code is used for the infant's chart, not the mother's.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the infant is a twin and the delivery method was cesarean.
• This code is for the infant's record; the mother's record will have codes related to her pregnancy and delivery complications.
• Do not use this code if the twin was delivered vaginally or if the infant was stillborn.
