complex it will be effective using basic paramedics, for cases that require special and complex
handling, a more skilled team such as Critical Care Team, Critical Nurse for pediatric patients,
anesthesiologists and emergency physicians are needed for patients in need sedation in
intubation. And seen from the number of officers needed, of course, for patients who are more
