In simple words: This code is for injuries caused by explosions of things like underwater bombs, mines, or torpedoes during wartime.It's used when someone is hurt in a war-related explosion at sea.

This ICD-10-CM code classifies injuries and other adverse effects resulting from war operations specifically involving the explosion of marine weapons.This includes injuries to both military personnel and civilians caused by explosions of depth charges, marine mines, sea-based artillery shells, torpedoes, or underwater blasts.The code is used secondarily to a code from another chapter (often Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)) specifying the nature of the injury or condition.

Example 1: A sailor is injured by the explosion of a mine during a naval engagement.The resulting injuries include shrapnel wounds and blast injuries., A civilian is injured by an underwater explosion during a wartime conflict. The injuries include traumatic brain injury and hearing loss., Military personnel on a warship are injured during a torpedo attack.

Detailed documentation is required, including specifics on the type of marine weapon, the location of the explosion, the nature of the injuries, and the treatment provided.Military records or reports may be necessary to corroborate circumstances of the injury.

** This code is part of a broader category that includes various types of war operations.Accurate coding requires careful consideration of the specific circumstances surrounding the injury.This code is specifically for injuries directly caused by the explosion of marine weapons, not indirect consequences or related events.Always ensure consistent documentation to support the code assignment.
