Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident
ICD-10 V04.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are roller-skating and are involved in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus during a traffic accident. Such incidents can lead to severe injuries due to the significant weight and size of the vehicles involved. Common injuries may include fractures, contusions, lacerations, and traumatic brain injuries. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such accidents, facilitating public health interventions, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for trauma care. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where roller-skating is more common and traffic density is high, increasing the risk of such collisions.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, the type of vehicle involved, and the patient's condition upon arrival.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a bus while roller-skating, requiring immediate assessment and intervention.
Consideration of potential head injuries and the need for imaging studies.
Detailed surgical notes must include the nature of injuries, surgical interventions performed, and follow-up care.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a collision, necessitating surgical intervention.
Documentation of the mechanism of injury is crucial for trauma registry purposes.
Used for patients presenting with severe injuries from a roller-skating accident.
Document the patient's condition, treatment provided, and any imaging studies performed.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure comprehensive documentation of the injury mechanism.
Documentation should include the specifics of the accident, including the type of vehicle involved, the circumstances leading to the collision, and a detailed account of the injuries sustained by the patient.
