V91.1: Accident to watercraft causing other injury : passenger ship

The ICD-10 code V91.1 refers to an accident involving a passenger ship that leads to injuries, excluding drowning and submersion. This clinical scenario encompasses various forms of physical trauma that can occur due to falls, collisions, equipment-related mishaps, or other accidental events on a passenger ship. Such injuries can present in many different ways, depending on the nature of the accident, the forces involved, and the part of the body affected. For instance, one might experience pain, bruising, swelling, or breakage in case of a bone injury. Similarly, cuts and lacerations could lead to bleeding. Internal injuries may not be immediately apparent but could cause serious complications such as internal bleeding or organ damage. It's important to note that any injury needs medical assessment and care - oftentimes urgently - for diagnosis and treatment. The severity of injuries can range widely, from minor, requiring basic first aid, to major, necessitating emergency medical intervention.
