MRO screening for solid organ tranplant – advice re any best practices/ Evidece based Guidlines?

[Ryan, Lindy]

Dear brains trust

Just wondering if any of you had any links or was willing to share their current practices/ policy/process for managing of solid organ transplant pts and( ? their donors? ) and any information around if and when you would screen them for an MRO colonisation any differently to recommendations for ICU patients .

also If you do have pts /donors who are an MRO positive for colonisation – what do you do?

The CDC does provides information but its largely all about on BBV’s and there is literature out in journals I have found around MRO infection risk for this pt group …just wondering a little more specifically what those folks with solid organ transplant units within their services recommend or currently do for their pts as part of best practice guidelines around MRO screening & management strategies for this patient group

Thank you in advance

Kind regards

Lindy
