- The cardiac intensive care unit is experiencing a shift as it adapts to an aging population with more complex health issues, necessitating a focus on multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) for better patient outcomes.
- These MDTs consist of various healthcare professionals, including physicians from different specialties, working collaboratively to implement guidelines, enhance communication, and develop effective care plans for critically ill patients.
- The document aims to explore the evolving nature of patient care within cardiac intensive care, covering aspects like team composition, healthcare delivery improvements, training requirements, and future directions for MDTs in this field.
Background: Patients with structural lung disease and immunocompromised status are at increased risk of pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection. However, literature on NTM in lung transplant recipients (LTR) is limited. We sought to systematically review the literature and perform a meta-analysis to examine associations with NTM disease and isolation in LTRs and their influence on mortality and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD).
