O83: Other assisted single delivery
The group of conditions classified under "Other assisted single delivery" refers to various scenarios where medical intervention is needed to support the birthing process of a single baby. These situations can arise due to several factors such as stagnation in labor progression, unusual positioning of the baby in the womb, or when the health of the mother or baby are at risk. Common symptoms leading to assisted delivery include prolonged labor, intense fatigue, or in cases where close monitoring shows the baby is in distress. As these are delivery-related conditions, progression happens during childbirth and the affected systems include the reproductive system, specifically the birth canal and uterus. Physicians may employ tools like forceps (a surgical instrument that resembles a pair of large spoons or salad tongs) or vacuum extraction, where a suction device is attached to the baby’s head to aid in the delivery process. Despite the need for intervention, many assisted deliveries result in a healthy mother and baby.
