Results

Only the 1st measurement of the 3 of 5 patients was analyzed, as voluntary movements of the patients' lower limbs occurred during the electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). No changes in vital signs were observed after EMS, with no hypoxemia. Moreover, no muscle desaturation was detected. Total-Hb/Mb and oxy-Hb/Mb were increased in the GM muscles of cases 1 and 3 after EMS. VL muscles exhibited lower each Hb/Mb than GM muscles, possibly due to the low stimulus intensity.

Results Delayed


Results Delay Reason

The study period was extended, but the number of cases could not be collected, and it was decided to report the cases as a case series.

Baseline Characteristics

Patients admitted to ICU
(i) Patients admitted to the ICU aged between 20 and 80 years old
(ii) Transcutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) 93% or more
(iii) No abnormal vital signs
(iv) Excluding acute drug intoxication, suicide attempt, resuscitation after cardiopulmonary arrest on arrival, 1st to 5th cervical vertebra injury, and old cerebrovascular disease.
(v) Patients with burns, trauma or injury to the belt electrode site (abdomen, thighs, lower legs), excluding lower limb oedema and lower limb venous thrombus

Participant flow

Eligible ICU patients are selected, the study is explained in writing and verbally to the patient or surrogate and consent is obtained in writing.
EMS of the whole lower limb for 14 days from the date of stabilisation of vital signs and improvement of cerebral oedema; NIRS measurements during EMS on days 1, 7 and 14.
Study completed at the end of 14 days of EMS or ICU discharge.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), oxygenated-Hb/Mb, deoxygenated-Hb/Mb, total-Hb/Mb
