Jump/div into oth water strk bottom causing drown, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a past incident where an individual jumped or dived into water, struck the bottom, and subsequently experienced drowning or submersion. It indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to complications or conditions directly attributable to that specific water-related trauma.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for conditions such as anoxic brain injury, chronic respiratory issues, or neurological deficits that are a direct sequela of a past drowning or near-drowning event caused by striking the bottom after jumping or diving. It is appropriate for patients presenting months or years after the initial incident for ongoing management of these persistent effects.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., G93.1 for anoxic brain damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past drowning/submersion event and specifies the "striking bottom" mechanism.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute drowning event; it is exclusively for sequelae.
