V04.1: Pedestrian injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : traffic accident
A pedestrian injured in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus in a traffic accident is a specific medical condition that arises due to an unfortunate incident on the road. The nature of this condition has a lot to do with the circumstances of the traffic accident and the fact that the individuals involved were on foot at the time of the collision. These injuries can vary in severity, from minor cuts and bruises to life-threatening conditions such as fractures and internal bleeding. The impact from such a vehicle collision can affect various bodily systems, including but not limited to the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. Certain visual signs prevalent in traumatic injuries may include swelling, wounds, or deformation of a body part. Pain, loss of function, disorientation or confusion are common symptoms after such an accident. The patient's condition can rapidly deteriorate, especially if internal injuries remain unnoticed, making it crucial to seek immediate medical attention post-accident. Remember, this description is focused on the physical injuries that can occur due to such an accident and does not encompass the emotional or psychological impact of a traumatic event.
