O83.8: Other specified assisted single delivery

The term 'Other specified assisted single delivery' refers to childbirth circumstances that require specific non-routine interventions or techniques to aid in the delivery of a single baby. This may include cases where a birth did not proceed as naturally expected, thus needing additional assistance, such as the use of forceps, vacuum extraction, or specific birthing positions. These interventions arise when there are concerns about the mother's or baby's health or if the labor doesn't progress normally. Symptoms prompting such interventions could include prolonged labor, fetal distress, improper fetal positioning, or failure of the cervix to dilate completely. Assisted delivery techniques provide a means to expedite delivery while ensuring optimum safety for both the mother and baby. Please remember that the exact intervention needed varies depending on the specific circumstances and conditions present at the time of delivery.
