Failed attempted termination of pregnancy (O07)
The ICD-10 code O07 and its subcodes are used to classify instances of failed attempted termination of pregnancy. These codes capture various complications that can arise when an induced abortion does not successfully terminate the pregnancy.
Specifically, O07.0 addresses cases involving genital tract or pelvic infections, while O07.1 relates to delayed or excessive hemorrhage following a failed termination. Embolism complications, including amniotic fluid and air embolisms, are coded under O07.2. Other subcodes, such as O07.31 and O07.32, cover shock and renal failure respectively. Additional codes exist for metabolic disorders (O07.33), damage to pelvic organs (O07.34), venous complications, cardiac arrest, sepsis, urinary tract infections, and other specified or unspecified complications. For cases without complications, O07.4 is used. These codes are essential for accurately documenting the range of complications arising from unsuccessful medical or surgical terminations, aiding in clinical care, research, and billing.

Instructional Notations
Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- failure of attempted induction of termination of pregnancy
- incomplete elective abortion
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- incomplete spontaneous abortion O03.0
Clinical Terms
The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.
Oliguria
Decreased URINE output that is below the normal range. Oliguria can be defined as urine output of less than or equal to 0.5 or 1 ml/kg/hr depending on the age.
Urine
Liquid by-product of excretion produced in the kidneys, temporarily stored in the bladder until discharge through the URETHRA.
