Abstract: Interprofessional collaboration between paramedics, pharmacists, and laboratory specialists plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of emergency blood transfusions. This study evaluated the impact of multidisciplinary teamwork on the safety, efficiency, and outcomes of emergency transfusion protocols in a tertiary hospital. A mixed-methods approach was used, including a retrospective cohort analysis of patient records and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals. Quantitative findings indicated that high collaboration significantly reduced transfusion times, lowered the incidence of transfusion reactions, and improved patient outcomes. Thematic analysis of qualitative data highlighted key themes such as the importance of communication, challenges in collaboration, and perceived benefits for both patients and staff. The findings underscore the importance of fostering interprofessional collaboration in emergency settings to enhance patient safety and care quality.
