Summary
The Electro-Convulsion-Therapy (ECT) is a well accepted treatment option in severe depression. The quality of ECT is evaluated basing on minimal seizure duration (\>15sec), the sympathic response and the postictal EEG-suppression. \- Page 1 of 3 - For the treatment general anaesthesia is needed. On the other hand anaesthesia strongly influences the quality of the seizure. Standard treatment is to use Anaesthesia to intervention time (ASTI) of 1 to 2 minutes for ideal timing of the electric stimulation. The aim of the study is to assess if timing of electric stimulation aiming for ar an anaesthesia depth of Narcotrend values 41-64 may provide better convulsion quality than standard approach of using ASTI 1-2 minutes.
