Electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V25.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The V25.11 code is used to classify injuries sustained by passengers on electric (assisted) bicycles involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles, specifically in nontraffic accidents. This code is crucial for capturing data related to the external causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly in urban settings where electric bicycles are increasingly popular. Such incidents may occur in various scenarios, such as when a passenger on an electric bicycle is struck by a train while crossing tracks or in a railway yard. Accurate coding of these events is essential for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation for emergency services. The code helps in understanding the patterns of injuries associated with electric bicycles and their interactions with railway systems, which can inform safety regulations and public awareness campaigns.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including details of the collision and the patient's role as a passenger.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a train while riding as a passenger on an electric bicycle.
Ensure that the documentation clearly states the type of bicycle and the circumstances of the accident to avoid misclassification.
Trauma surgeons should document the extent of injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with railway vehicles.
Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns and outcomes in trauma registries.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from a collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
External cause codes provide critical data for understanding injury patterns, informing public health initiatives, and improving safety regulations. They help in tracking the incidence of injuries related to specific activities, such as riding electric bicycles.
