Abstract: This study explores the interdisciplinary management of polytrauma patients in a tertiary hospital, focusing on the collaboration between Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), dentists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, physical therapists, and social workers. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews revealed key themes related to communication, role clarity, and challenges in interdisciplinary care. While communication barriers and differing priorities were identified, participants suggested strategies for improving collaboration, including structured communication protocols and joint training exercises. These strategies can enhance team cohesion and improve patient outcomes in polytrauma care.
