A Cardiac Open Heart Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meeting is a structured clinical forum that brings together healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients undergoing open-heart surgery. The team typically includes cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, intensivists, perfusionists, nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, pharmacists, and other relevant specialists. During the meeting, patient cases are reviewed collaboratively to assess clinical status, discuss diagnostic findings, determine the most appropriate surgical or medical interventions, optimize perioperative care, and monitor outcomes.
