ICD-10 Clinic Advanced - Book 11: The Trauma and Burns Record

Multiple injuries and the rule that decides which one leads, why the unspecified multiple injury codes are almost never right, head injury and the characters that carry consciousness, burns coded by depth and then by extent, the rule of nines, the four-code burn stack, external cause codes used properly at scale, and the boundary between an injury and its late effect.

The ten chapters:

1. Which injury leads

2. Why the multiple injury codes are a last resort

3. Head injury and consciousness

4. Wounds, and what is left inside them

5. Injuries that develop afterwards

6. Burns by depth and site

7. Burns by extent, and the rule of nines

8. The four-code burn stack

9. External causes at scale

10. Injury against late effect

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour. Every chapter closes with its rule stated in a single line, so you can revise the whole book from the rules alone. Then a two-page Coding Lab working full records step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
