V91: Accident to watercraft causing other injury
V91.5: Accident to watercraft causing other injury : canoe or kayak
The ICD-10 code V91.5 refers to an accident involving a canoe or kayak, resulting in injuries other than drowning or submersion. This could be a wide range of different types of injuries depending on the nature of the accident itself. For instance, if the individual fell out of the canoe or kayak, they could possibly have injuries like sprains or fractures due to impact. On the other hand, if the watercraft capsized, they might suffer from hypothermia or water intoxication. The severity of the accident can vary significantly, ranging from minor incidents requiring basic first aid to severe accidents potentially needing emergency medical treatment. In every instance, the exact injury and treatment required will depend on the specific circumstances of the accident.
