Electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V25.51 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The V25.51 code is used to classify injuries sustained by passengers on electric (assisted) bicycles involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles during traffic accidents. This code is crucial for capturing the external causes of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents. It is particularly relevant in urban settings where electric bicycles are increasingly popular, and interactions with railway systems are common. Accurate coding of these incidents helps in understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to electric bicycles, guiding public health interventions, and improving safety regulations. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of electric bicycle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code is part of a broader effort to track and analyze traffic-related injuries, which can inform policy decisions and enhance safety measures for vulnerable road users.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, type of bicycle, and any relevant witness statements.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a train while riding as a passenger on an electric bicycle.
Ensure that all relevant details about the accident are captured to support the use of V25.51.
Trauma registries should include detailed descriptions of the injury patterns and circumstances surrounding the collision.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with railway vehicles.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding of all related conditions.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with significant injuries from a collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details are captured for accurate coding.
Documentation should include the type of electric bicycle, the circumstances of the collision, the passenger status, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
