Description
Taejin Kim, Hyojin Kim, and Qian Chen review bone loss in critically ill patients. Their review from twenty twenty-three explains causes and management options. Intensive care patients lose bone density at alarming speed. Fragility fractures then threaten recovery long after discharge.
Immobility, inflammation, hormone stress, and poor nutrition all contribute. Several common intensive care drugs also weaken bone. The authors count bone loss as part of post-intensive care syndrome. Nutrition and protein support help protect the gut and bones. Anti-resorptive drugs and physical therapy are under study. Recognising bone risk early could prevent later fractures. The review argues bone care belongs in critical care planning.
