Milt op w thermal radn effect of nuclear weapon, civ, init

This code signifies injuries sustained by a civilian due to the thermal radiation effects of a nuclear weapon during military operations. These injuries typically manifest as severe burns and other heat-related trauma, distinct from blast or radioactive contamination effects.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a civilian patient presenting with burns or other thermal injuries directly attributable to a nuclear weapon's heat output during a military conflict. It should be used when the patient is first seen for these specific injuries.

• Ensure the patient is explicitly documented as a civilian and the injury is due to thermal radiation, not other nuclear weapon effects.
• Confirm the injury occurred during military operations.
• This "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
