The impact of extended bed rest on the musculoskeletal system in the critical care environment

Abstract: Prolonged immobility is harmful with rapid reductions in muscle mass, bone mineral density and impairment in other body systems evident within the first week of bed rest which is further exacerbated in individuals with critical illness. Our understanding of the aetiology and secondary consequences of prolonged immobilization in the critically ill is improving with recent and ongoing research to establish the cause, effect, and best treatment options. This review aims to describe the current literature on bed r… Show more

“…In the critical care setting, patients lose up to 30% muscle mass within 10 days of admission. [13] Prolonged bedrest cause an overall decline in muscle mass, strength and function. [1] Early physical therapy and mobility in the ICU setting should be safely implemented due to all the above listed reasons.…”

“…This was an important observation in an adolescent sample, as the majority of the literature regarding the impact of bed rest on bone health is concerned with older patient populations 23. The authors warned that ‘ protocols prescribing strict bed rest may not be appropriate for protecting bone health for these patients ’ 24…”

“…As noted in the Introduction, acute vertebral fractures often cause locomotion disability, require prolonged bed rest, and increase the risk of secondary disorders such as pulmonary thromboembolism, aspiration pneumonia, psychiatric symptoms such as delirium, and/or disuse syndrome [4]. Therefore, the decline in mobility and the severe back pain are critical for patients with acute vertebral fractures.…”

“…Rather, prolonged bed rest due to vertebral facture requires monitoring because the bedridden state sometimes cause serious secondary disorders such as aspiration pneumonia, pulmonary thromboembolism, or disuse syndrome [4]. We speculated that the use of PVP might help avoid such diseases after osteoporotic vertebral fractures by facilitating an early recovery from back pain or ambulation difficulty [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
