Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Twenty one patients for group R undergoing ECT were included in the study. Anesthesia induction was provided with propofol 1 mg/kg IV and rocuronium 0,3 mg/kg IV in the Group R (n=21). Electroshock was applied after obtaining full muscular relaxation. Sugammadex 4 mg/kg IV was administered to after the motor seizure. Receiving ECT three times a week to complete an average of 6 to 12 treatments. The first three ECT sessions were included in the study. The patients were evaluated as regards the time of start of spontaneous respiration following the induction, time of opening the eyes in response to verbal stimuli, and VAS scores for myalgia and headache at hours 2, 6, 12 and 24 following the ECT.

Comparator / control treatment
Twenty Four for group S patients undergoing ECT were included in the study. Anesthesia induction was provided with propofol 1 mg/kg intravenously (IV) and succinylcholine 1 mg/kg IV in the Group S (n=24), Electroshock was applied after obtaining full muscular relaxation. Receiving ECT three times a week to complete an average of 6 to 12 treatments. The first three ECT sessions were included in the study. The patients were evaluated as regards the time of start of spontaneous respiration following the induction, time of opening the eyes in response to verbal stimuli, and VAS scores for myalgia and headache at hours 2, 6, 12 and 24 following the ECT.
