Most of the selected studies used frequencies close to the range suggested by Kesar and Binder-Macleod<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">33</span></a>; however, the pulse durations were at least twice as long. This may explain why some of the studies did not find positive results after NMES due to the fatigue it produced.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Just as in the frequency and pulse duration parameters, the times of application also had high variability, ranging from 30 to 60<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min, one or two times a day. Additionally, NMES was applied 4–5 days a week, and the treatment varied from 1 week to discharge from ICU or effective extubation.

As there was important methodological heterogeneity among the studies, it seems that the same heterogeneity was reflected in statistical terms, as the value for <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">I</span><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> (56%) showed high statistical heterogeneity in the meta-analysis. This could be interpreted as an indication of lack of agreement among researchers on what is important in terms of procedures and outcome measures when investigating the effects of NMES in critically ill patients.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">According to the data obtained from the selected studies, NMES presents good results when used to maintain lower limb muscle volume. Two studies assessed muscle mass by ultrasound and concluded that NMES preserves the muscle mass of critical patients on bed rest.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23,24</span></a> Furthermore, Poulsen et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> used computerized tomography and found the least amount of loss of muscle mass in the stimulated limb compared to the non-stimulated limb in the same patient. While assessing peripheral muscle strength using the MRC scale, three studies showed significant improvement in global muscle strength with the use of NMES.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25,27,28</span></a> This technique showed effect for maintenance of muscle mass and strength, but the study by Bouletreau et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21,22</span></a> showed that electrical stimulation in patients on bed rest must be used with caution as it influences the degradation of muscle protein. However, the study by Bouletreau et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21,22</span></a> used the lowest frequency of all the studies (1.75<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Hz), which may have led to greater fatigue than the others.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Also, it is unclear whether there is a relationship between muscle strength of limbs and MV. However, the results from De Jonghe et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">31</span></a> raise the question whether such relationship actually exists, as they present a relationship between limb muscle strength and respiratory muscle strength; also, they show a relationship between respiratory muscle strength and time in MV for critically ill patients. Therefore, it is possible that muscle weakness in lower limbs may represent the need of longer stay in MV. Among the included studies, only Routsi et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a> investigated the effects of NMES on muscle strength and also looked at time in MV. They found positive effects for the NMES group in regards to MV and weaning period. However, there was a large variability for the control group in regards to weaning period (median 3 days, range 0–44) and time between extubation and ICU discharge (median 6 days, range 0–41). Thus, this large variability seen in the control group could have affected the statistical comparisons, reinforcing the need for further investigation.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Among the selected studies, two used the MRC scale to verify the effect of NMES on the strength of these patients, allowing a meta-analysis of this outcome for the quadriceps femoris muscle.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25,27,28</span></a> The meta-analysis included one study with high methodological quality<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a> and another with intermediate quality<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25,28</span></a> and showed a significant effect in favor of the group that received NMES over the control. This shows that NMES was able to maintain or increase quadriceps strength in critically ill patients in ICU. Although the MRC scale uses ordinal numbers, the studies included in the meta-analysis used continuous data. For that reason and because of the difficulty in dichotomizing the MRC data, continuous data were also used in the meta-analysis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">34</span></a></p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A possible limitation of the meta-analysis is the statistical approach used for the study by Rodriguez et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a> A non-parametric test was applied in this study to compare the stimulated side to the non-stimulated side. It is a less robust test, which may explain the significance presented in the study. For this meta-analysis, we considered the stimulated and non-stimulated sides as independent groups.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">34</span></a> Another possible limitation is that the study with the most weight in the meta-analysis was the study with intermediate methodological quality. Thereby, the results from the meta-analysis should be analyzed with caution. Unfortunately, only two studies were included in the meta-analysis and these studies measured the patients’ strength by a manual test which is considered reliable for ICU patients,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">35</span></a> however a scale with low precision as the results for a single joint assessment are limited to only 5 possible scores, as opposed to a dynamometer, for example, that presents continuous data.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Some previous literature reviews, with similar aims to the present have being recently published.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0180"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">36–38</span></a> The conclusions from these publications corroborate our findings that NMES is likely to be a useful tool for the maintenance of muscle strength and muscle mass in critically ill patients. However, some differences among these studies can be noted. The study by Williams and Flynn<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">38</span></a> did not limit their analysis to best evidence as they included studies that were not randomized controlled trials and Maffiuletti et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">37</span></a> included studies that applied NMES out of ICU. These reviews also had different search strategies as the numbers of studies retrieved from the respective searchers are substantially different to the current study. Despite the limitations of the meta-analysis, the present systematic review brings objective information regarding the application of NMES in ICUs. The search in eight databases and the detailed analysis of the long list of titles confirm the data of the present review. Although most of the selected studies did not use adequate methodology, they showed that NMES can maintain or increase muscle strength, maintain muscle mass and volume, reduce time in MV and weaning time, and increase muscle degradation in critically ill patients in ICU. Therefore, studies with high methodological quality are still needed. Future studies should include patients with similar diseases. One possible design would be the investigation of the effects of NMES applied once a day for 30<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min (35<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Hz, pulse width 150<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>μs, time on 5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>s and time off 5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>s) on the quadriceps femoris of ICU patients. Different to most studies seen here, allocation should be concealed, assessors should be blinded and intention-to-treat should be implemented in analysis.</p></span><span id="sec0075" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0135">Conclusion</span><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The studies included in the present systematic review showed that NMES could have good results when used to maintain muscle mass and strength of critical patients in ICU and this was reinforced by the small meta-analysis presented.
