Effect of NMES on vital signs. The figure shows the variation in vital signs before and immediately after NMES in the intervention and control groups. The variation in the control group was recorded before and after an interval of 30 min (time similar to NMES group). There were no clinically significant intergroup differences in the vital signs. However, a significant numeric intergroup difference was observed in SPO2 on day 2, p < 0.001. All analyses were performed using the Student's t test for independent groups. NMES: neuromuscular electrical stimulation; MAP: mean arterial pressure; SPO2: peripheral oxygen saturation
