Newborn affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss (P50)
The ICD-10 code P50 and its subcategories identify newborns affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss, a condition where the baby experiences bleeding before birth. These codes are used to specify the source or cause of the blood loss during pregnancy.
These codes cover various causes of fetal blood loss including vasa previa (P50.0), ruptured umbilical cord (P50.1), placental bleeding (P50.2), hemorrhage into a co-twin (P50.3), and bleeding into maternal circulation (P50.4). Other causes include loss from the cut end of a co-twin’s cord (P50.5) and other unspecified fetal blood losses (P50.8 and P50.9). Using the ICD-10 code for newborns affected by intrauterine blood loss helps healthcare professionals accurately document these specific hemorrhagic and hematologic conditions, ensuring precise medical records and appropriate care management.

Instructional Notations
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.
