Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with pedal cycle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V01.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with pedal cycle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V01.11 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians on roller-skates who are involved in a collision with a pedal cycle during a traffic accident. This code is essential for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to non-motorized traffic incidents. Such injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures and head injuries, depending on the speed of the cyclist and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation for emergency services. It also aids in understanding the epidemiology of traffic-related injuries, particularly among vulnerable road users like pedestrians on roller-skates. Proper documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of injuries sustained, and any contributing factors such as weather conditions or visibility.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, including details of the collision and any immediate treatment provided.
Patients presenting with lacerations, fractures, or concussions following a collision with a bicycle while roller-skating.
Consideration of the patient's age and overall health status, as these factors can influence injury severity and treatment.
Trauma registries require comprehensive documentation of the injury mechanism, including the type of roller-skates and the cyclist's speed.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a collision, requiring surgical intervention.
Attention to detail in documenting all injuries sustained, as multiple codes may be necessary for comprehensive billing.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a roller-skate collision.
Documentation must include the nature of the injuries and the external cause.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the external cause is clearly linked to the injury.
V01.11 should be used when documenting injuries sustained by a pedestrian on roller-skates involved in a collision with a pedal cycle during a traffic accident.
Documentation must include details of the accident, the type of injuries sustained, and any relevant circumstances such as weather or visibility conditions.
