Terrorism w oth explosn and fragmt, civilian injured, init

This code signifies injuries sustained by a civilian due to a terrorist act involving an explosion or fragmentation from a device other than a bomb or incendiary device. It captures the initial presentation for treatment of these injuries.

Apply this code for patients presenting with injuries directly resulting from a terrorist event where the mechanism was an explosion or fragments, and the patient is identified as a civilian. This is appropriate for the first encounter for these specific injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the incident was a terrorist act and the patient is a civilian.
• Verify the mechanism of injury involved an explosion or fragments, excluding bombs or incendiary devices (which have their own specific codes).
• This code is only for the initial encounter; subsequent care for the same injuries will require a different encounter character.
