Neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the intensive care unit prevents muscle atrophy in critically ill older patients: A retrospective cohort study
Critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) develop muscle atrophy and decreased physical function. Though neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy has been shown to be effective in preventing this, but its effect on older patients is unknown. To examine the course of critica...

description | Critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) develop muscle atrophy and decreased physical function. Though neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy has been shown to be effective in preventing this, but its effect on older patients is unknown. To examine the course of critically ill older patients treated with NMES in the ICU and to define the impact of its use. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using older ICU patients (≥65 years) categorized into a control group (n = 20) and an NMES group (n = 22). For subgroup analysis, each group was further classified into pre-old age (65–74 years) and old age (≥75 years). The control group showed significant decrease in muscle thickness during ICU and hospital stay. The NMES group showed lower reduction in muscle thickness and showed decrease in muscle echo intensity during hospital stay, compared to the control group. NMES inhibited decrease in muscle thickness in the pre-old age group versus the old age group. The decreasing effect of NMES on echo intensity during hospital stay manifested only in the pre-old age group. We did not find much difference in physical functioning between the NMES and control groups. Lower limb muscle atrophy reduces in critically ill older patients (≥65 years) with NMES and is pronounced in patients aged < 75 years. The impact of NMES on the physical functioning of older patients in ICU needs to be further investigated. |
