Patients were randomly assigned to receive either PBMT-sMF or a placebo daily throughout their ICU stay. The primary outcome was length of ICU stay, defined by either discharge or death. The secondary outcomes were survival rate, diaphragm muscle function, and the changes in blood parameters, ventilatory parameters, and arterial blood gases.Results: Thirty patients were included and equally randomized into the two groups. There were no significant differences in the length of ICU stay (mean difference, MD = − 6.80; 95% CI = − 18.71 to 5.11) between the groups. Among the secondary outcomes, significant differences were observed in diaphragm thickness, fraction of inspired oxygen, partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio, C-reactive protein levels, lymphocyte count, and hemoglobin (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Among severe COVID-19 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, the length of ICU stay was not significantly different between the PBMT-sMF and placebo groups. In contrast, PBMT-sMF was significantly associated with reduced diaphragm atrophy, improved ventilatory parameters and lymphocyte count, and decreased C-reactive protein levels and hemoglobin count.Trial Registration Number (Clinical Trials.gov): NCT04386694.Keywords: COVID-19, photobiomodulation, intensive care unit, respiratory muscles, ventilatory parameters, mechanical ventilationDe Marchi TFrâncio FFerlito JVWeigert Rde Oliveira CMerlo APPandini DLPasqual-Júnior BAGiovanella DTomazoni SSLeal-Junior ECDove Medical Pressarticlecovid-19photobiomodulationintensive care unitrespiratory musclesventilatory parametersmechanical ventilationPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
