Abstract: This study explores the collaboration between Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and laboratory specialists in managing emergency blood transfusions during trauma cases in a tertiary hospital. Using a qualitative approach, data from interviews with EMTs and laboratory specialists were analyzed to identify key themes related to communication, challenges in blood supply management, and strategies for improving efficiency. The findings highlight the importance of early communication, standardized protocols, and joint training exercises to optimize blood transfusion outcomes. Addressing logistical barriers and improving coordination between teams can significantly enhance trauma care.
