Pedal cyclist (driver) (passenger) injured in transport accident with military vehicle
ICD-10 V19.81 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cyclist (driver) (passenger) injured in transport accident with military vehicle.
The ICD-10 code V19.81 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedal cyclists, whether they are drivers or passengers, involved in transport accidents specifically with military vehicles. This code is crucial for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to cycling accidents involving military transport. Such incidents may occur in various contexts, including military training exercises, parades, or accidents involving military personnel on duty. Accurate coding is essential for public health data collection, resource allocation, and understanding the epidemiology of cycling injuries in relation to military vehicles. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of military vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained by the cyclist.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including the type of vehicle involved, the cyclist's role, and any contributing factors such as weather conditions.
Common scenarios include cyclists struck by military trucks during training exercises or parades.
Emergency physicians should ensure that all relevant details are captured in the medical record to support accurate coding.
Trauma surgeons need to document the extent of injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases may involve severe injuries from collisions with military vehicles, requiring detailed surgical notes.
Trauma documentation should include specifics about the military vehicle and the circumstances of the accident to ensure proper coding.
Used when a cyclist presents to the emergency department after being struck by a military vehicle.
Detailed documentation of the injury, mechanism of injury, and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details are captured for accurate coding.
