Y36: Operations of war

Y36.1: War operations involving destruction of aircraft

War operations involving destruction of aircraft, classified under Y36.1 in ICD-10 WHO 2016 classification, refer to incidents occurring during military combat where an aircraft has been destroyed. This might result in a myriad of injuries depending on the circumstances, seriousness of the event, and whether individuals were onboard or near the aircraft when the event occurred. Following such incidents, personnel might experience physical damages resulting from high-energy impact, burns due to explosions and fire, or other injuries from shrapnel and debris. Additionally, these traumatic events may result in psychological traumas such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It's essential to understand that this code is used in a context of a war operation and is not solely a diagnosis, but rather an indicating event that could lead to a wide array of physical and psychological conditions.
