Which call type is associated with code Ya for Infant< 1 year?

• A. Tracheostomy (Stoma) Airway/ Arrest/ Choking (Unconscious)- Infant< 1 year
• B. Airway/ Arrest/ Choking (Unconscious)- Infant< 1 year
• C. Tracheostomy (Stoma) Airway/ Arrest/ Choking (Unconscious)- Newborn/ Neonate < 30 Days
• D. Airway/ Arrest/ Choking (Unconscious)- Newborn/ Neonate < 30 Days

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that dispatch codes for airway emergencies are split by both age and airway condition. For an infant under 1 year who has a tracheostomy stoma and is experiencing airway arrest or choking with unconsciousness, the correct call type is the one that explicitly combines the tracheostomy situation with the infant age group. That pairing is used because a tracheostomy changes how airway management is performed and is treated as a distinct scenario within the infant category. So, the call type that matches “Tracheostomy (Stoma) Airway/ Arrest/ Choking (Unconscious)” for an infant under 1 year is the appropriate choice for code Ya.

This differs from the newborn/neonate category (<30 days), which has its own separate call type due to different airway considerations in that very young age. In practice, recognizing the presence of a tracheostomy in an infant guides you to follow the protocol specific to stoma ventilation and obstruction management for that age group.
