Terorsm w explosn of marine weapons, civ injured, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication resulting from injuries sustained by a civilian due to a terrorist act involving the detonation of marine-based explosive devices. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual effects directly attributable to the original incident.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current medical condition that is a direct sequela of an injury from a terrorist explosion of marine weapons, and the patient was a civilian. This would be used for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the injury has passed, addressing ongoing physical or psychological issues.

• Always code the specific sequela first, followed by this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original terrorist incident involving marine weapons.
• Verify the patient's status as a civilian at the time of the incident.
