Y36.4: War operations involving firearm discharge and other forms of conventional warfare
War operations involving firearm discharge and other forms of conventional warfare (ICD-10 code Y36.4) refer to injuries and health conditions that result from warfare actions involving firearms and other traditional combat techniques. These conditions may range widely, from physical injuries due to gunshots or explosive blasts to mental health issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The onset and severity of these conditions depend on the exact nature of the violent incidents experienced during war operations. Physical injuries might damage various body systems, from the skin and skeletal systems to vital organs, while mental health conditions might provoke extreme anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional distress. The impact could be immediate as with acute injuries, or delayed, manifesting over time, as usually the case in psychological conditions.
