=== Traumas and their Mechanisms ===
All traumas should be coded with their mechanisms.

*Here are lists of the codes for "mechanical" injuries to various body parts: 
** some codes are always traumatic and always need a mechanism:
{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Trauma}}
{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Trauma}}
:* Other codes may or may not be of a traumatic nature; these also qualify to be coded with trauma mechanisms listed below:
{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Potential trauma}}
*Here is a list of the external mechanism or agent that caused the trauma:

=== Regarding Multiple Trauma ===
*When a person has multiple body areas traumatized, code '''[[Multiple trauma]]'''
*When using [[Multiple trauma]] '''also code the individual things traumatized''', e.g. leg, arm, head, etc.
*Code '''[[Multiple trauma]]''' and all the individual things traumatized as [[Combined ICD10 codes]]
**And in this case, assuming that they all have the same mechanism of injury (e.g. '''[[Mechanism of injury: motorcyclist]]'''), then you'd also code that [[:Category:Mechanism|Mechanism]] code as the same [[Combined ICD10 codes]].
*If the multiple trauma is the primary admit diagnosis, then among this group of linked ICD10 codes, the '''[[Primary Admit Diagnosis]]''' would be either the [[Multiple trauma]] or the "worst" thing injured, e.g. '''[[Brain injury, diffuse (TBI), injury/trauma]]

Explanation of trauma and mechanism co-coding.



Traumas and their Mechanisms

  • In ICD10, traumas need to be combined with separate mechanism codes to fully explain the situation.
  • Here are lists of the codes for "mechanical" injuries to various body parts:
    • some codes are always traumatic and always need a mechanism:
Trauma codes:
... further results
  • Other codes may or may not be of a traumatic nature; these also qualify to be coded with trauma mechanisms listed below:
Potential trauma codes:
  • Here is a list of the external mechanism or agent that caused the trauma:
Mechanism codes:
