Unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V22.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident.
The V22.91 code is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of electric (assisted) bicycles involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles during traffic accidents. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which are increasingly common as the popularity of electric bicycles rises. Riders may experience a range of injuries, from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed and nature of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for safety measures. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicles involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where mixed traffic conditions are prevalent, and it highlights the need for improved safety protocols for vulnerable road users.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of vehicles involved, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.
Patients presenting with trauma after a collision with a motor vehicle, requiring immediate assessment and intervention.
Consideration of the patient's vital signs and potential for internal injuries is crucial.
Detailed trauma assessments, including injury severity scores and surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions, necessitating surgical intervention.
Documentation should reflect the mechanism of injury and any complications arising from the accident.
Used when a patient presents with significant injuries from a collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation of the patient's condition.
Document the specifics of the collision, including the type of vehicles involved, the circumstances leading to the accident, and the injuries sustained by the electric bicycle rider.
