Which call type is associated with the code 33?

• A. Transfer/ Interfacility/ Palliative Care
• B. Traumatic Injuries (specific)
• C. Airway/ Arrest/ Choking (Unconscious)- Newborn/ Neonate < 30 Days
• D. Traffic Collison/ transportation incident

Answer: (A)

Code 33 is the call type used for Transfer/Interfacility/Palliative Care. This category covers situations where a patient needs to be moved from one facility to another or where care is focused on comfort and end‑of‑life considerations rather than an immediate on-scene emergency. It’s about patient transfers and non-acute or palliative needs, not active life-threatening events.

The other call types represent different emergencies: a trauma-specific call is for injuries requiring urgent trauma assessment and intervention; an airway/arrest/choking call for an unconscious newborn/neonate is a critical pediatric emergency; and a traffic collision/transportation incident describes crashes or similar incidents. These would be coded differently and involve on-scene response and potential emergency care rather than a facility transfer or palliative transfer.
