=== Traumas and their Mechanisms ===

~~All Traumas should~~ be ~~coded~~ with ~~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:

:* Other codes may or may not be of a traumatic nature; these also qualify to be coded with trauma mechanisms listed below:

*Here is a list of the external mechanism or agent that caused the trauma:

~~See~~ [[~~Template~~:~~Trauma w mechanism~~]] ~~for further discussion~~.

=== 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]]
