O60-O75: Complications of labour and delivery
O67: Labour and delivery complicated by intrapartum haemorrhage, not elsewhere classified
Labour and delivery complicated by intrapartum haemorrhage, not elsewhere classified, refers to a group of conditions where significant bleeding occurs during labour and delivery but the exact cause of the bleeding is not specified. This bleeding commonly arises from the placental bed or from cuts or tears in the birth canal or surrounding tissues during childbirth. The amount of bleeding can vary from light to severe, and symptoms may include low blood pressure, fast heart rate, and feeling faint or lightheaded. This bleeding can lead to complications for both the mother and baby, impacting their overall health. This condition does not follow a predictable progression and can occur rapidly causing significant maternal and fetal risk. It’s not contagious and doesn't typically have any long-term consequences if managed properly by health professionals.
