V95-V97: Air and space transport accidents
Air and space transport accidents refer to a grouping of medical conditions or injuries sustained as a result of incidents related to air transportation or aerospace endeavors. These conditions originate from a broad spectrum of accidents including crashes, collisions, crashes during take-off or landing, injuries occurring inside the aircraft, or accidents during space travel. The health impacts from these accidents could range from minor injuries to severe physical trauma, or life-threatening emergencies like brain injuries, spinal cord damages, internal organ injuries, fractures, or burns. These injuries might cause immediate symptoms like pain, bleeding, loss of consciousness, or difficulty breathing, or may present with delayed symptoms. The disease progression directly depends on the severity and type of the injury, with some conditions requiring rigorous emergency management and long-term rehabilitation. Existing health conditions might also get complicated due to the accident. It's important to note the mental health implications such as post-traumatic stress disorder that might develop in survivors of such traumatic incidents.
