Clinicians should interpret EEG endpoints cautiously during ECT; leaves open standardization of monitoring techniques for prospective validation.
This review highlights the practical challenges of using EEG to monitor seizure end-points during electroconvulsive therapy and provides practical tips for practitioners.
Allan Scott (2007) conducted a review in Psychiatric illness requiring electroconvulsive therapy. Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring vs. Clinical observation was evaluated. EEG monitoring during electroconvulsive therapy reveals that prolonged cerebral seizures occur in 1% to 19% of patients, though determining the exact seizure end-point remains technically challenging.
