Answer 5

The paramedic will indicate the total number of patients carried in the ambulance during a given call
in this field. If no patients were transported, enter “0”.
Sequence
The “Sequence” indicates to which of the multiple patients the ACR information refers. For example,
if two patients were transported using the same call number, one patient would be Sequence “1” and
the other patient would be Sequence “2”. If no patients were transported, enter “0”
