Primary

MeasureTime frame
Rate Pressure Product(systolic blood pressure multiplied pulse rate). Timepoint: Before and 1 min after induction, 1, 3 and 5 min after ECT. Method of measurement: Blood pressure will be measured by sphygmomanometer in mmHg and pulse rate through pulseoximeter.;Blood oxygen saturation,(SPO2). Timepoint: Before and 1 min after induction, 1, 3 and 5 min after ECT. Method of measurement: Through pulseoximeter as real numbers.
