Evaluation of Hemodynamic Efficacy of two different anaesthetic agents in patients undergoing Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most controversial treatments in medicine. In a comparison between propofol and etomidate, differences were found between motor seizure duration as observed by a physician and as recorded by electroencephalogram (EEG). Hence; we planned the present study to assess the efficacy of Propofol and Etomidate in patients undergoing ECT therapy. Materials & Methods: The present study included assessment of efficacy of two different anaesthetic agents in patients undergoing ECT therapy. A total of 40 patients were included in the present study were divided randomly into two study groups with 20 patients in each group. Group 1 included patients who were anaesthetized with etomidate, while group 2 included patients who were anaesthetized with propofol. ECT procedure was carried out in all the patients. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure of all the patients was recorded both before treatment and after treatment. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: A total of 40 subjects were included in the present study and were divided into two study groups with 20 patients in each group. We observed stable diastolic blood pressure in the etomidate group, where as in the other study group, no significant alteration in the diastolic blood pressure was seen. Systolic blood pressure was significantly elevated after treatment in both the study groups. Conclusion: Based on the overall performance, we recommend that both the anaesthetic solutions work with approximately equal hemodynamic efficacy in patients undergoing ECT
