V74: Bus occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus
Bus occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus refers to a group of injury conditions primarily caused by vehicular accidents. In these conditions, the patient is a passenger on a bus that has been involved in a collision with either a heavy transport vehicle, like a truck, or another bus. The injuries incurred can involve various body parts and systems, ranging from minor to serious. Typical symptoms are largely influenced by the intensity of the incident and can include bruises, lacerations, broken bones, head injuries, internal bleeding, or even traumatic spinal or brain injuries. The injuries can quickly progress if not immediately attended to, leading to shock, loss of consciousness, chronic disability, or in severe cases, death. While there's a wide range of possible injuries, the seriousness is generally linked with the force of the impact and the safety measures used during the incident. It's expected that after such accidents, emergency care will be immediately sought to assess, diagnose, and manage any injuries.
