Crush betw oth pwr wtrcrft & oth wtrcrft/obj d/t clsn, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was crushed between two or more watercraft or a watercraft and another object, specifically when the incident was caused by a collision involving powered watercraft. The crushing force results in trauma to the body, and this code is used for the initial presentation of such an injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with injuries sustained from being caught and compressed between a powered boat and another vessel or a stationary object (e.g., a dock, buoy) during a collision. This applies to scenarios where the patient was physically trapped and squeezed by the impact. It is specifically for the initial treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was "crushed" or "compressed" between objects.
• Verify that the collision involved a "powered watercraft" as a contributing factor.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for treatment of these specific injuries.
