ICD-10-CMExplosion of bomb placed during war operations but exploding after cessation of hostilities, civilian, initial encounter
This code signifies an injury sustained by a civilian due to an explosive device, specifically a bomb, that was deployed during a period of active warfare but detonated after the conflict officially ended. The injury is a direct result of the explosion, and this code is used for the initial medical assessment and treatment of the patient.
This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for a civilian presenting with injuries from an unexploded ordnance (UXO) that was a remnant of past war operations. Examples include injuries from landmines, unexploded artillery shells, or other explosive devices that detonate years or decades after a conflict has concluded.
