Which call type is associated with the code 30?

• A. Traumatic Injuries (specific)
• B. Unconscious/ Fainting (Near)
• C. Unknown Problem (Person Down)
• D. Transfer/ Interfacility/ Palliative Care

Answer: (A)

Code 30 is used for Traumatic Injuries (specific) because the coding scheme assigns this number to explicit trauma events where an injury type is clearly described, such as bleeding, fractures, burns, or penetrating injuries. This labeling helps the dispatcher prioritize and structure the questioning around the trauma scene, focusing on mechanism of injury, location and type of injury, and severity to determine the appropriate trauma response.

Other options describe different problems that would be coded differently: unconscious or fainting (near) involves altered consciousness and airway considerations, unknown problem (person down) covers cases where the cause isn’t identified, and transfer/interfacility/palliative care is about transport or ongoing care decisions rather than the initial trauma classification.
