Psychiatry related information on Convulsive Therapy

 

High impact information on Convulsive Therapy

  • Shock therapy was associated with mild elevations of creatine phosphokinase MB (31 +/- 18 units), but there was no hemodynamic evidence of tricuspid insufficiency [3].
  • Insulin coma and various types of convulsive therapies were the major biologic treatment modalities in psychiatry before the psychopharmacological era [4].
  • The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of this VF confirmation algorithm to recognize nonsustained VT, and to analyze the reasons for failure of the PCD device to abort shock therapy for nonsustained VT despite use of this VF confirmation algorithm [5].
  • Cardiazol convulsive therapy, first used in Australia in 1937, appears to have been widely employed [6].
  • AD6, a coumarin derivative, and other pharmacological approaches to splanchnic artery occlusion (SAO) shock therapy [7].
