About the O60–O77 Code Range
Labor and delivery can be complicated by early or prolonged labor, an obstructed delivery, bleeding, injury, or problems affecting the fetus.
O60 distinguishes preterm labor without delivery, preterm delivery, and term delivery after preterm labor. O61 separates failed induction by method, while O62 describes abnormal labor forces. O63 separates long labor by stage or delayed delivery of another baby. Obstructed labor is grouped by fetal position or presentation in O64, maternal pelvic abnormality in O65, and other circumstances in O66.
The remaining categories distinguish bleeding during labor from bleeding after delivery, fetal acid-base balance, cord complications, tears and other injuries, retained placenta, anesthesia complications, and other labor complications. They also distinguish fetal heart rate or rhythm abnormalities from other signs of fetal stress. For O60.1, O60.2, O64, and O69, the seventh character identifies the fetus or indicates other, unspecified, or not applicable.
