However, during septic shock, mobilisation is often delayed due to the severity of the illness. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may be an alternative to mobilise these patients early. This study aims to identify whether NMES performed within the first 72 hours of septic shock diagnosis or later is safe from a metabolic perspective.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This is the analysis of two randomised controlled crossover studies. Patients with acute septic shock (within the first 72 hours of diagnosis) and sepsis and septic shock in the late phase (after 72 hours of diagnosis) were eligible. Patients were submitted in a random order to the intervention protocol (dorsal decubitus position with the lower limbs raised and NMES) and control (dorsal decubitus position with the lower limbs raised without NMES). The patients were allocated in group 1 (intervention and control) or group 2 (control and intervention) with a wash-out period of 4 to 6 hours. Metabolic variables were evaluated by indirect calorimetry.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Sixteen patients were analysed in the acute septic shock study and 21 in the late sepsis\/septic shock study. There were no significant differences between Oxygen Consumption (VO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n ) values in the acute phase of septic shock when the baseline period, intervention, and control protocols were compared (186.59 \u00b1 46.10; 183.64 \u00b1 41.39; 188.97 \u00b1 44.88, p>0.05- expressed in mL\/Kg\/min). The same was observed when the VO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n values in the late phase were compared (224.22 \u00b1 53.09; 226.20 \u00b1 49.64; 226.79 \u00b1 58.25, p>0.05). The other metabolic variables followed the same pattern, with no significant differences between the protocols. When metabolic variables were compared between acute to late phase, significant differences were observed (p<0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n As metabolic rates in septic shock patients had no increase during NMES, either in the first 72 hours of diagnosis or later, NMES can be considered safe from a metabolic viewpoint, even despite the higher metabolic demand in the acute phase of shock.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Trial registration<\/jats:title>\n \n NCT03193164<\/jats:ext-link>\n ;\n NCT03815994<\/jats:ext-link>\n .
