Fall into swimming pool striking wall causing drown, sequela

This code describes the long-term or residual effects resulting from an incident where an individual fell into a swimming pool, struck a wall, and subsequently experienced drowning and submersion. It signifies the lasting health complications directly attributable to this specific water-related accident.

Use this code when documenting conditions or symptoms that are a direct consequence of a past fall into a swimming pool with impact, drowning, and submersion. This would apply to follow-up encounters for conditions such as anoxic brain injury, chronic respiratory issues, or neurological deficits stemming from the initial event.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., G93.1 for anoxic brain damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past swimming pool incident.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for complications or conditions arising after the acute phase of the injury.
