Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V05.09 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V05.09 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using other conveyances (such as bicycles, scooters, or wheelchairs) when they are involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle in a nontraffic accident. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the pedestrian is not in a typical roadway setting, such as near railway crossings or in areas where trains operate outside of conventional traffic patterns. The injuries can range from minor to severe, including fractures, lacerations, or traumatic brain injuries, depending on the speed of the train and the nature of the impact. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for prevention strategies.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and specific injuries sustained.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a train while riding a bicycle or scooter.
Consideration of the patient's overall condition and potential for multiple injuries requiring comprehensive evaluation.
Detailed trauma assessments, including injury patterns and surgical interventions.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from railway collisions requiring surgical intervention.
Documentation must reflect the mechanism of injury and any associated complications.
Used for patients presenting with severe injuries from a railway collision.
Document the nature of the injury and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation of the mechanism of injury.
Use V05.09 when documenting injuries sustained by a pedestrian using other conveyances in a collision with a railway train or vehicle in a nontraffic setting, ensuring that the context of the accident is clearly documented.
