Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V05.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by individuals who are using roller-skates and are involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle, specifically in a nontraffic context. Such incidents may occur in areas where roller-skating is permitted near railway tracks, such as parks or recreational areas. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries, depending on the speed of the train and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of roller-skating injuries and for implementing safety measures to prevent future occurrences. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the location, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, including the use of roller-skates and the nature of the collision.
Patients presenting with injuries from roller-skating accidents near railway tracks, including fractures, lacerations, and concussions.
Ensure that the external cause is clearly documented to avoid misclassification with traffic-related injuries.
Trauma notes must detail the injury mechanism, including specifics about the collision and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from roller-skating accidents, requiring surgical intervention.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and for tracking injury patterns in nontraffic accidents.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from roller-skating accidents.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the external cause is documented.
Documentation should include the mechanism of injury, the use of roller-skates, the nature of the collision with the railway vehicle, and the location of the incident.
