Crushd/pushd/stepd on by crowd or human stampede, subs

This code describes injuries sustained when an individual is crushed, pushed, or stepped on by a group of people, such as during a riot, concert, or emergency evacuation. It specifically applies to follow-up care for these injuries, indicating that the initial assessment and treatment have already occurred.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to injuries (e.g., fractures, contusions, internal organ damage) resulting from being crushed or impacted by a crowd. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring of complications arising from the initial incident.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code describing the specific nature of the trauma.
• Ensure the encounter is clearly documented as a "subsequent encounter" for ongoing care related to the initial crowd-related injury.
• Verify that the mechanism of injury explicitly states being crushed, pushed, or stepped on by a crowd or during a human stampede.
