If a patient has a presumed medical event that leads to trauma (ie, falling down stairs, mvc) and goes VSA, are they treated under medical or trauma cardiac arrest?  

It can be difficult to tell what caused a cardiac arrest. If there does not appear to be a mechanism or injuries severe or consistent with causing an arrest, you can consider utilizing the Medical Cardiac Arrest Medical Directive, instead of the Trauma Medical Cardiac Arrest.
