Electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V25.41 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The V25.41 code is used to classify injuries sustained by drivers of electric (assisted) bicycles involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles during traffic accidents. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality associated with such incidents, which can result in significant injuries due to the high impact nature of collisions with large vehicles like trains. The use of this code is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the risks associated with electric bicycles, and implementing public health strategies aimed at reducing such accidents. Accurate documentation of the circumstances surrounding the collision, including the location, time, and contributing factors, is crucial for proper coding and analysis of injury data.
Emergency department notes should include details of the accident, patient presentation, and any immediate interventions.
Patients presenting with trauma after a collision with a train while riding an electric bicycle.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V25.41.
Comprehensive trauma assessments and operative reports should detail the injuries sustained and the context of the accident.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions with railway vehicles.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registry data and for understanding injury patterns in this population.
Used when an electric bicycle driver presents to the ED after a collision with a train.
Document the nature of the injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure thorough documentation to support the complexity of the case.
Documentation should include details about the accident, such as the location, time, circumstances leading to the collision, and the type of injuries sustained by the electric bicycle driver.
