V78: Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident
V78.2: Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
The condition defined by ICD-10 code V78.2 refers to injuries sustained by a bus occupant as a result of a noncollision transport accident, specifically those suffered by a person on the outside of the vehicle during a nontraffic incident. This scenario is typically associated with accidents that don't involve another vehicle or object colliding with the bus. Instead, the person might have been thrown off or fallen from the bus due to sudden movement, a stumble, or other circumstances. There's a wide array of injuries that might occur in such a situation — this could range from minor bruises and scrapes to fractures and major trauma, all depending on the specifics of the incident. The severity, type, and location of injuries can significantly influence the symptoms experienced.
