Patient presents with symptoms suggestive of pulmonary contusion following [mechanism of injury, e.g., blunt chest trauma, motor vehicle accident].  Symptoms include [list presenting symptoms, e.g., dyspnea, tachypnea, chest pain, hemoptysis, hypoxia].  Physical examination reveals [list pertinent positive and negative findings, e.g., decreased breath sounds, chest wall bruising, crepitus, tachycardia].  Imaging studies, including [specify imaging modality, e.g., chest X-ray, CT scan], demonstrate [describe imaging findings, e.g., patchy infiltrates, consolidation, ground-glass opacities] consistent with pulmonary contusion.  Differential diagnoses considered include [list differential diagnoses, e.g., pneumothorax, hemothorax, rib fractures, flail chest, acute respiratory distress syndrome].  Based on clinical presentation, imaging findings, and mechanism of injury, the diagnosis of pulmonary contusion is established.  Severity of the contusion is assessed as [mild, moderate, or severe] based on [specific criteria, e.g., extent of lung involvement, oxygenation status, need for mechanical ventilation].  Treatment plan includes [describe treatment plan, e.g., supplemental oxygen, pain management, pulmonary hygiene, mechanical ventilation if indicated, monitoring for complications such as pneumonia or ARDS].  Patient education provided on [relevant topics, e.g., deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, importance of follow-up care].  Patient condition is currently [stable, guarded, critical] and requires [level of care, e.g., inpatient admission, observation, discharge with follow-up].  Prognosis is [favorable, guarded, poor] depending on the severity of the injury and the presence of associated injuries.  ICD-10 code S27.4 (Traumatic pulmonary contusion) is assigned.
