Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V05.12 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V05.12 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians riding skateboards who are involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles during traffic accidents. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where skateboard use is common, and where intersections with railway lines pose significant risks. Injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries, depending on the speed of the train and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the epidemiology of such accidents, and facilitating appropriate public health interventions. Documentation should include details about the incident, the mechanism of injury, and the specific injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and billing.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, patient presentation, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a train while skateboarding, requiring imaging and potential surgical intervention.
Consideration of the patient's age, skateboard use, and any contributing factors such as alcohol or drug use.
Detailed operative reports and post-operative notes are necessary to capture the extent of injuries and surgical interventions.
Severe injuries requiring surgical repair, such as fractures or internal injuries from a collision.
Documentation should include the mechanism of injury and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Used for patients presenting with severe injuries from a collision.
Documentation must support the level of service, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that all aspects of the patient's condition are documented.
Documentation should include details about the incident, such as the location, the type of vehicle involved, the circumstances leading to the collision, and the specific injuries sustained by the patient.
