Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Motor seizure duration noted from the moment ECT stimulus is given to the cessation of tonic clonic motor activity in the isolated arm Hemodynamic response ( BP,MAP,HR,SpO2) immediately post induction, post cessation of tonic clonic seizure at 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Recovery from anesthesia- time from succinylcholine administration t spontaneous breathing, eye opening, obeying verbal commands would be recorded Pre procedural and post procedural cognitive function assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) Timepoint: Motor seizure duration noted from the moment ECT stimulus is given to the cessation of tonic clonic motor activity in the isolated arm Hemodynamic response ( BP,MAP,HR,SpO2) immediately post induction, post cessation of tonic clonic seizure at 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Recovery from anesthesia- time from succinylcholine administration t spontaneous breathing, eye opening, obeying verbal commands would be recorded Pre procedural and post procedural cognitive function assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Hemodynamic response ( BP,MAP,HR,SpO2) immediately post induction, post cessation of tonic clonic seizure at 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Pre procedural and post procedural cognitive function assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) Timepoint: Hemodynamic response ( BP,MAP,HR,SpO2) immediately post induction, post cessation of tonic clonic seizure at 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutesand 10 minutes. MMSE done prior to procedure and one day post the procedure
