ECT and etomidate-induced seizure-like activity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
Following the withdrawal of methohexitone from the market place psychiatrists and anaesthetists have been forced to seek out alternative anaesthetic agents for ECT. We report a case of etomidate-induced seizure-like activity. We review the literature on ECT and anaesthetic agents and discuss the alternatives available in accordance with a statement by The Royal College of Psychiatrists.
