KD39.2

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Fetus or newborn affected by fetal blood sampling

Description

Fetal blood sampling involves extracting a sample of fetal blood from the umbilical cord using a needle and an ultrasound as a guide. It is used to detect fetal abnormalities and is generally performed after the completion of 18 weeks of gestation. Risks to the fetus and newborn include: miscarriage, bleeding from the needle entry site, uterine infection and temporary slowing of the baby’s heart rate following the procedure.

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.
