V93.1: Accident on board watercraft without accident to watercraft, not causing drowning and submersion : passenger ship

V93.1 is the diagnostic code that describes an incident where a passenger on a watercraft has suffered injuries due to an accident onboard the vessel without the actual watercraft itself being involved in an accident. This doesn't include cases where drowning or submersion has occurred. Accidental injuries can occur in various forms, ranging from a simple cut, bruise, wound, fracture or sprain to more serious forms of internal injuries. Such accidents could result from a fall, impact with an object onboard, or even due to a sudden movement of the vessel. Patients would typically experience pain and discomfort, visible injuries, possible immobility, or other physical symptoms depending on the type of injury sustained. Immediate medical attention is necessary to correctly diagnose the injury and provide appropriate medical care.
