V90.7: Accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion : water-skis

Accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion related to water-skis refers to a specific incident where a person has experienced injury or severe harm due to an unexpected event involving a watercraft and water-skis. This type of accident often results in the individual being submerged, causing lack of oxygen as a consequence of water entering the lungs. Initial indications may include coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or unconsciousness. Over time, possible complications such as lung damage, heart problems, or neurological complications derived from a prolonged lack of oxygen may arise. This condition relates specially to opened bodies of water and is not considered a disease but an accident-related medical emergency. It requires immediate medical attention and subsequent monitoring due to potential life-threatening outcomes.
