There is evidence that greater hemo-dynamic response (eg, increase in heart rate and blood pressure) during ECT is associated with greater therapeutic benefits. This is linked to possible generalization of seizure in central autonomic network.5 It would be of interest to see if there is any difference in the hemodynamic response between BFECT and BTECT. In a study comparing the efficacy of BFECT and BTECT in schizophrenia (V H. Puthane et al, unpublished data, 2012), we examined this issue. Of 122 patients who were randomized to receive either BFECT or BTECT, 114 completed the study. During the first ECT session, titration method was used to calculate seizure threshold. Subsequent stimuli were delivered at 1.5 times the threshold level. All ECTs were administered under anesthetic modification (thio-pentone, 2-4 mg/kg, and succinylcholine, 0.5-1 mg/kg)

Puthane等人，未发表的数据，2012），我们研究了这个问题。在122名随机接受BFECT或BTECT的患者中，有114名完成了研究。在第一个ECT期间，使用滴定法计算癫痫发作阈值。随后的刺激以阈值水平的1.5倍传递。所有ECT均在麻醉剂修饰下给药（硫代戊酮2-4 mg / kg，琥珀酰胆碱0.5-1 mg / kg）
