Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with pedal cycle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V01.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with pedal cycle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V01.91 is an external cause code used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian on roller-skates who is involved in a collision with a pedal cycle. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the circumstances of the accident are unclear, such as whether it occurred on a public roadway or in a private area. The code captures the nature of the incident, emphasizing the involvement of roller-skates and a pedal cycle, which are common modes of transportation and recreation. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such accidents, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at reducing injuries among pedestrians and cyclists. Documentation should include details about the location of the incident, the conditions leading to the collision, and any contributing factors such as visibility or traffic patterns. This code is crucial for injury surveillance and can help in the allocation of resources for safety improvements in areas where such accidents frequently occur.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, including the type of equipment involved (roller-skates and pedal cycle) and the circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, contusions, or lacerations resulting from a collision while roller-skating.
Ensure that the documentation specifies the location of the incident and any contributing factors such as weather or visibility.
Trauma documentation must include a detailed account of the injury mechanism, patient demographics, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions, requiring surgical intervention or extensive rehabilitation.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding to capture all aspects of the trauma.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a roller-skating accident.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Document the specifics of the accident, including the location, time, and circumstances leading to the collision. Include details about the patient's injuries and any relevant history that may impact treatment.
