Abstract: Emergency preparedness in tertiary hospitals relies on interdisciplinary collaboration and effective equipment management to optimize patient outcomes. This mixed-methods study explored the roles of dentists, respiratory therapists, EMTs, pharmacists, and laboratory specialists in managing emergencies and ensuring equipment readiness. Qualitative interviews highlighted the importance of teamwork and communication in responding to critical situations, while quantitative data revealed challenges in equipment availability and maintenance. The findings emphasize the need for regular interdisciplinary training and improved equipment management protocols to enhance emergency response and patient care.
