Motorcycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V25.4 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of motorcycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V25.4 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle drivers involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles during traffic accidents. This code is crucial for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality associated with such incidents, which can lead to severe injuries or fatalities. Motorcycle drivers are particularly vulnerable due to the lack of protective barriers compared to other vehicles. In clinical practice, accurate coding of these incidents is essential for public health data analysis, resource allocation, and injury prevention strategies. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of injuries sustained, and any contributing factors such as weather conditions or road conditions. This code is part of a broader effort to understand and mitigate the risks associated with motorcycle use in proximity to railway systems.
Emergency department notes must clearly document the mechanism of injury, including details of the collision and any immediate interventions.
Patients presenting with traumatic injuries following a motorcycle-railway vehicle collision, including fractures, head injuries, and soft tissue injuries.
Consideration of pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery and the need for comprehensive injury assessment.
Trauma registries require detailed documentation of injury patterns, surgical interventions, and outcomes.
Trauma cases involving complex injuries from motorcycle collisions, necessitating surgical intervention.
Accurate coding of associated injuries and potential complications is critical for quality metrics and outcome tracking.
Used when a motorcycle driver presents to the emergency department with severe injuries from a collision.
Detailed documentation of the patient's condition, treatment provided, and any consultations.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the level of service billed.
Documentation should include the specifics of the collision, the type of railway vehicle involved, the circumstances leading to the accident, and a detailed account of the injuries sustained.
