V90.3: Accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion : other powered watercraft
Accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion, involving other powered watercraft, refers to a specific type of accident where a person is submerged under water due to incidents with powered watercraft like speed boats, jet skis, or motorboats, leading to potential instances of drowning. This condition refers to the immediate emergency scenario in the aftermath of the accident. It does not define a health state per se, but the incident can cause significant health consequences such as lack of oxygen supply to the brain and other vital organs due to the submersion. Symptoms experienced by the affected individuals can include coughing, chest pain, trouble breathing, and confusion. The severity of the symptoms and outcomes can vary widely, from mild discomfort to life-threatening situations, depending on factors like the duration of submersion, individual's swimming ability, and promptness of rescue efforts.
