Drown d/t being thrown ovrbrd by motion of fish boat, sqla

This code describes the long-term health consequences or complications arising from an incident where an individual was thrown from a fishing boat due to its motion and subsequently experienced drowning or submersion. These sequelae could include neurological damage, respiratory issues, or other chronic conditions directly attributable to the near-drowning event.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a current health condition that is a direct result of a past drowning or submersion incident caused by being thrown overboard from a fishing boat due's motion. This applies when the initial injury has healed, but its lasting effects are being treated. For example, a patient with chronic anoxic brain injury following such an event would be coded here.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., G93.1 for anoxic brain damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past drowning event and specifies the mechanism (thrown from fishing boat due to motion).
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela, meaning the initial injury occurred in the past and the patient is now being treated for its residual effects.
