BackgroundThe occurrence of a seizure during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) should be confirmed. Most clinicians use motor seizure monitoring alone and recent guidelines have not considered electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring mandatory.AimsTo examine the potential pitfalls of motor seizure monitoring.MethodConsenting consecutive patients (n=232) were prospectively studied at the first ECT session using both motor and EEG seizure monitoring. It was ensured (by titration) that all the patients had an adequate EEG seizure. Adequate and prolonged seizures were defined according to the latest recommendations of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.ResultsMotor seizure was inadequate in 15 (7%) of patients. EEG seizure was prolonged in 38 (16%) of patients. Fifteen patients (39%) did not have a prolonged motor seizure. Motor seizure correlated well (r=0.8, P < 0.001) with EEG seizure when the latter was adequate, but not when prolonged (r=0.12, P > 0.5).ConclusionsMotor seizure monitoring without EEG is undependable. The study provides a rational basis for the Royal College of Psychiatrists' definition of prolonged EEG seizure.

Objective: To compare the hemodynamic effects of propofol with thiopental during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in psychiatric patients at the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with ASA physical status I-II undergoing 139 ECT sessions participated in this study. Each patient randomly received either propofol or thiopental followed by succinylcholine for muscle relaxation. The systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and bispectral index (BIS) were recorded before anesthetic induction, after induction, before seizure, immediately at the end of the seizure, and at post anesthetic care unit (PACU). Results: At two to seven minutes after induction, SBP, and DBP was significantly higher in thiopental group than propofol group after receiving treatments (approximately 11 to 22 mmHg, 6 to 13 mmHg, respectively). The HR was significantly decreased in propofol group at two and three minutes (p=0.002), but not significantly different from PACU (p=0.076). The SpO₂ was not significantly different between the two groups. Propofol significantly decreased electroencephalographic (EEG) and motor seizure duration (p<0.001). Conclusion: Propofol anesthesia provided better hemodynamic responses than thiopental during ECT. Hence, propofol might be a useful alternative to thiopental in patients at higher risk of cardiac complications secondary to marked hemodynamic changes during ECT. However, the duration of seizure in the propofol group was shorter than in the thiopental group. Keywords: Electroconvulsive therapy, Thiopental, Propofol, Bispectral index, Motor seizure

ABSTRACT:Anosognosia is a well-known manifestation of non-dominant parietal lobe lesions and typically lasts a few days. That anosognosia may last only a few minutes to a few hours, as observed in six patients, has not been reported. In five patients, transient anosognosia for equally brief left-sided hemiparesis was a manifestation of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). In the sixth patient, anosognosia for both a left-sided motor seizure and a subsequent brief left hemiparesis could best be explained by an epileptic ictal and post-ictal transient dysfunction of the non-dominant parietotemporal cortex. Prompt recognition of transient anosognosia, whether ischemic or epileptic, is mandatory for proper diagnosis and for rapid initiation of specific therapy.
