Newborn affected by other complications of labor and delivery (P03)
ICD-10 code P03 covers newborns affected by various complications arising during labor and delivery. These codes help specify the exact type of labor-related issue influencing the newborn's health, facilitating accurate coding for conditions unique to the delivery process.
The section includes specific codes like P03.0 for newborns affected by breech delivery (also known as head entrapment or fetal dystocia), and P03.1 for malpresentation or disproportion during labor. Instrumental deliveries are captured by P03.2 (forceps) and P03.3 (vacuum extractor), while P03.4 identifies newborns affected by Cesarean delivery complications. Other codes address issues like precipitate delivery (P03.5), abnormal uterine contractions (P03.6), and abnormalities in fetal heart rate or rhythm before or during labor (P03.81 through P03.819). Additional codes cover complications such as meconium passage (P03.82) and prolonged labor or membrane rupture (P03.89). This set of ICD-10 codes is essential for detailing birth-related disorders distinct from postnatal conditions, aiding healthcare professionals and coders in pinpointing the exact labor complication affecting the newborn.

Instructional Notations
Code First
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
- any current condition in newborn
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
- encounter for observation of newborn for suspected diseases and conditions ruled out Z05
