Quadruplet liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean

This code identifies a liveborn infant who is one of four babies born from the same pregnancy, specifically when the delivery occurred via cesarean section. It signifies the successful birth of a quadruplet through surgical means.

This code is used for the birth record of each individual quadruplet infant who was delivered alive by cesarean section. It is applied to the infant's chart, not the mother's, to document the circumstances of their birth.

• Assign this code to each of the four liveborn infants delivered by C-section.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "quadruplet" and "cesarean delivery" for accurate code assignment.
• Do not use this code if the delivery was vaginal or if the infant was stillborn.
