Fetal blood loss from vasa praevia

Description

In vasa praevia, the fetal blood vessels connecting the placenta and umbilical cord cross the internal cervical os, the entrance to the birth canal, underneath the fetus. These vessels are more liable to be injured by instrumentation (e.g. scalp electrode, intrauterine pressure catheter, vaginal exams) or simply due to the normal mechanical forces of labour leading to serious fetal blood loss.

Coding note from above levels

Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.
