H65.23 - Acute sanguinous otitis media, bilateral: Utilized when there are bilateral acute sanguinous otitis media involving bloody fluid discharge from both ears.

H65.33 - Acute purulent otitis media, bilateral: Used for bilateral acute purulent otitis media, with pus in both ears.

H65.43 - Chronic serous otitis media, bilateral: Applied for chronic bilateral serous otitis media, characterized by persistent fluid in both ears.

H65.53 - Chronic mucoid otitis media, bilateral: Utilized when chronic bilateral mucoid otitis media involves thick fluid in both ears.

H65.63 - Chronic sanguinous otitis media, bilateral: Used for chronic bilateral sanguinous otitis media involving bloody fluid in both ears.

H65.73 - Chronic purulent otitis media, bilateral: Applied for chronic bilateral purulent otitis media, with pus in both ears.

H65.83 - Other chronic nonsuppurative otitis media, bilateral: Utilized for other forms of chronic bilateral nonsuppurative otitis media not classified elsewhere.

H65.93 - Other chronic suppurative otitis media, bilateral: Used for other forms of chronic bilateral suppurative otitis media not classified elsewhere.

Clinical Information

• Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy.
• It typically arises around the 24th to 28th week of gestation and is related to hormonal changes and insulin resistance during pregnancy.
• Assessment involves screening pregnant women for GDM using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or other recommended screening methods.
• Diagnosis is made when blood glucose levels exceed defined thresholds during the screening.
• Management includes dietary modifications, physical activity, and blood glucose monitoring to maintain target glucose levels.
• Insulin or other medications may be necessary if lifestyle interventions are insufficient to control blood sugar.
• Patient education on blood glucose monitoring, meal planning, and adherence to the treatment plan is crucial.
• Regular prenatal visits should include maternal and fetal health monitoring, as GDM can lead to complications if not managed effectively.
• After delivery, women with GDM should be screened for persistent diabetes, as they are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
• Lifestyle modifications and weight management are essential for long-term health in women with a history of GDM.
