摘要:

Serum samples before and after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) from eight women patients revealed that prolactin blood levels reached a peak about 11 min after the end of the seizure. On average, the peak elevation over baseline was 385%; this elevation correlated strongly (r= 0.6, p < 0.001) with baseline blood levels. Prolactin peaks after bilateral ECT were significantly (p < 10−5) higher than those after unilateral ECT, although seizure duration was not longer. Application of a mathematical model gave an estimate of 17.3 min for the half-life of prolactin elimination from the blood, close to published metabolic measurements. The rate of prolactin release into the blood was greater than the rate of its elimination from the blood.

摘要:

The American Psychiatric Association survey concerning electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was repeated with Indiana psychiatrists. The results indicated that these psychiatrists currently were more accepting of ECT than the earlier, national sample. However, there was agreement between the responses of the two groups on many of the issues. There were important differences between those who used ECT and those who did not. In Indiana, responders administering ECT were significantly more likely to be board certified than those who did not employ the technique. As expected, the users were, in general, more enthusiastic and favorable in their attitude toward ECT. The present survey suggests that there may be a greater awareness of adverse side effects and that improvements suggested in the literature are being adopted by practitioners.

摘要:

Nineteen patients had unrelieved incapacitating or life-threatening conditions likely remediable with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). They also had coexisting medical conditions originally judged to preclude ECT because it risked unacceptable complications. ECT was administered with attempts to prevent complications, although some procedures were canceled for medical reasons. Fourteen of 19 patients completed their course of ECT; one patient died. Sixteen of 19 patients returned to baseline functioning and were discharged. Judicious attempts to treat such high-risk patients with ECT yield therapeutic gains.

摘要:

We report a study of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) induced prolactin release in nine patients as a function of treatment electrode placement, stimulus energy, and seizure length. Only electrode placement differentially affected prolactin release, with bilateral ECT yielding larger increments over baseline than unilateral ECT.
