Increasing pressure on limited EMS resources suggests benefits to a more detailed appreciation of the precise nature of any unit or crew in this generic status.

We all know that treating pediatric patients is nothing like treating adults. For one thing, young patients tend to add even more stress to any emergency. The infrequency with which emergency personnel treat pediatrics usually equates to less assurance and more anxiety. Children also require a separate set of drug dosages, which can be difficult to memorize when used so infrequently.
