KA80.5 Fetal blood loss from cut end of co-twin cord
International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01
Sometimes the blood content of monozygotic twins differs considerably, which can occur when anastomoses exist. One twin loses blood through shunts, while the other gains a large quantity of blood. Therefore, following the delivery of one twin, the other may bleed through these anastomoses if the umbilical cord of the delivered twin is not immediately clamped.
