| Core Tip |
Constipation is a frequently overlooked complication in critically ill adults that adversely affects clinical outcomes. This review synthesizes current evidence on its complex pathophysiology, multifactorial etiology and diagnostic challenges within the intensive care unit. It underscores the importance of timely recognition and comprehensive management strategies combining both therapeutic and preventive strategies. By highlighting gaps in standardized diagnostic criteria and therapeutic protocols, this article advocates for further research to establish evidence-based guidelines aimed at improving patient prognosis and quality of care in the intensive care unit. |
