Etomidate-induced convulsion prior to electroconvulsive therapy
2000
British Journal of Psychiatry
Preserved Fulltext
Choice of anaesthesia for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has become more limited in the past year owing to the non-availability of methohexitone. As a result, there has been more use of etomidate in our hospital as an anaesthetic agent for ECT. We would like to draw your attention to a case of a spontaneous seizure after administration of etomidate.
