V47: Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
The group of conditions under the title "Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object" represents a range of injuries that a passenger or driver may suffer when a vehicle collides with a non-moving object. This could include objects such as trees, guardrails, or even structures like buildings. These injuries can potentially affect various systems in the body, including the musculoskeletal, circulatory, nervous, and respiratory systems. Depending on the severity and location of the impact, symptoms may vary significantly. They could range from minor bruises, cuts, or sprains, to more severe injuries like fractures, internal bleeding, or traumatic brain injury. Following the collision, the condition of the patient could deteriorate rapidly, especially in cases of severe injury, making immediate medical care imperative for the affected individual.
