How prepared are dental students to manage medical emergencies, a cross-sectional survey from Saudi Arabia
The study highlighted a gap in the preparedness of dental students and interns to manage MEs effectively. The findings emphasize the need for enhanced training and education, particularly in managing more severe medical emergencies, to improve the overall emergency response in dental practices. Further, efforts should focus on increasing access to emergency drugs and equipment, along with regular BLS training, to ensure optimal patient safety.
