Drown d/t being thrown ovrbrd by motion of pasngr ship, sqla

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a drowning or near-drowning incident that occurred when an individual was thrown overboard from a passenger ship due to the vessel's motion. These sequelae can include a range of chronic conditions impacting respiratory, neurological, or other body systems.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition directly attributable to a past drowning or submersion event that specifically involved being thrown from a passenger ship due to its movement. This is used for follow-up care or ongoing management of these chronic issues.

• Requires a seventh character "S" for sequela, indicating the long-term effects of the initial injury.
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., anoxic brain injury, chronic lung disease) first, followed by this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past drowning event and specifies the mechanism of being thrown overboard from a passenger ship.
