Crush betw inflatbl crft and oth wtrcrft/obj d/t clsn, init

This code signifies an injury sustained when an individual is caught and compressed between an inflatable, non-motorized watercraft (like a raft or inner tube) and another vessel or fixed object during a collision. The injury results from the crushing force exerted during this specific type of watercraft accident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from a collision where a person is squeezed between a non-powered inflatable craft and another watercraft (e.g., a boat, jet ski) or a stationary object (e.g., a dock, buoy). This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the craft involved is explicitly described as non-powered and inflatable.
• Verify the mechanism of injury is "crushed between" due to a collision.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for treatment of this specific injury.
