Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V05.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V05.11 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are roller-skating and are involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle during a traffic accident. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where roller-skating is a common recreational activity, and where pedestrian traffic may intersect with railway lines. 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 public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation for emergency services. It is essential for healthcare providers to document the circumstances of the accident thoroughly to ensure appropriate coding and to facilitate the analysis of trends in pedestrian injuries related to railway incidents.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including details about the roller-skating activity and the collision with the train.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or head injuries after being struck by a train while roller-skating.
Consideration of the patient's location relative to the railway and the speed of the train at the time of the accident.
Trauma surgeons should document the extent of injuries and any surgical interventions performed, along with the external cause of the injury.
Severe trauma cases requiring surgical intervention due to collisions with trains.
Documentation should include the mechanism of injury and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a roller-skating accident involving a train.
Documentation must include the patient's history, examination findings, and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Documentation should include details about the roller-skating activity, the circumstances of the collision with the train, the location of the incident, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
