  • O29.5X1 Other complications of spinal and epidural anesthesia during pregnancy, first trimester
  • O29.5X2 Other complications of spinal and epidural anesthesia during pregnancy, second trimester
  • O29.5X3 Other complications of spinal and epidural anesthesia during pregnancy, third trimester
  • O29.5X9 Other complications of spinal and epidural anesthesia during pregnancy, unspecified trimester

How CDC's index refers to this code

Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
