The patient presented to the Hospital with contractions and known PPROM at 20 weeks 3 days. She delivered the legs and breech and the arms and head were entrapped. She was given a single does of terbutaline and the remainer of the baby delivered without difficulty of a non viable female. The placenta delivered 30 minutes later. Since the patient is at 20 weeks how would I code this? Would I use spontaneous abortion codes with just Inpatient Admit, subsequent and discharge codes? Thank you so much in advance for your help.
