Jump/div into swim pool strk bottom causing drown, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an incident where an individual jumped or dived into a swimming pool, struck the bottom, and subsequently experienced drowning or near-drowning. It captures the lasting health issues directly attributable to this specific type of aquatic accident.

Use this code when documenting conditions such as anoxic brain injury, chronic respiratory issues, or neurological deficits that are a direct consequence of a past incident of striking the bottom of a swimming pool during a jump or dive, leading to drowning or submersion. This code is appropriate for follow-up care and management of these persistent sequelae.

• 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 swimming pool accident as described.
• This "S" encounter code indicates sequela and should be used for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of the initial injury.
