Age 12-36 months excludes minor trauma is listed under which transport/age rule?

• A. Age < 12 months
• B. Age 12-36 months
• C. Age ≥ 70 years
• D. Age 0-6 months

Answer: (B)

In LAFD PDP, transport decisions are guided by age-based rules, and some rules include qualifiers that modify when they apply. The phrase "excludes minor trauma" means the rule should be used only for non-minor-trauma cases within that age range. The age range that carries that qualifier is the 12-36 months bracket, so it’s the one described by the statement. The other age groups listed do not include that qualifier, so they don’t fit. For example, a patient in this age range with minor trauma would fall under a different rule, since this particular one excludes minor trauma.
