Motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V27.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V27.1 is used to classify injuries sustained by a motorcycle passenger involved in a collision with a fixed or stationary object during a nontraffic accident. This scenario typically occurs when a motorcycle passenger is thrown from the vehicle or collides with an object such as a tree, pole, or building while the motorcycle is not in motion on a public roadway. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries and for implementing preventive measures in public health. Proper documentation of the circumstances surrounding the accident, including the type of object involved and the nature of the injuries, is essential for accurate coding and subsequent treatment planning.
Emergency department notes must clearly document the mechanism of injury, including the type of collision and the patient's role as a passenger.
Patients presenting with trauma after a motorcycle accident involving a collision with a stationary object.
Consideration of potential head injuries and the need for imaging studies should be documented.
Trauma registries require detailed descriptions of the injury mechanism, including the type of object involved and the extent of injuries.
Patients requiring surgical intervention due to severe injuries from a motorcycle collision.
Documentation should include the patient's vital signs and any pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from a motorcycle accident.
Document the patient's presenting complaints, history of the accident, and examination findings.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details of the accident are captured.
V27.1 is used for motorcycle passengers injured in nontraffic accidents, while V27.0 is for those injured in traffic accidents involving another vehicle.
