W35: Explosion and rupture of boiler

The group of conditions related to "Explosion and rupture of boiler" under the ICD-10 code of W35 refers to injuries sustained from accidents involving the explosion or rupture of a boiler. The severity and type of these injuries can vary widely, depending on factors such as proximity to the explosion, the intensity of the explosion, and protective measures in place. Injuries could range from minor burns or superficial wounds to serious trauma involving multiple organ systems. Immediate effects could include burns, lacerations, and fractures, as well as respiratory issues due to inhalation of smoke or steam. Long-term effects could encompass scarring and possible complications from injuries to internal organs. Psychological impacts such as post-traumatic stress disorder may also occur. It's important to note that these injuries are typically accidental, occurring in environments where boilers are present such as industrial settings, ships, or residential buildings with heating systems.
