Assault by drown after push into swimming pool, init

This code describes an injury resulting from an intentional act where an individual is forcibly pushed into a swimming pool, leading to drowning or submersion. It specifically captures the assaultive nature of the event and the immediate consequences related to water immersion.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient suffered injuries from being pushed into a swimming pool by another person, resulting in drowning or submersion. This includes cases of near-drowning or actual drowning where the intent was assault.

• Always sequence this code as the primary external cause code for the initial encounter.
• Requires an additional code for the specific injury sustained (e.g., anoxia, aspiration pneumonia).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the "push" and the "swimming pool" context, along with the assaultive intent.
