Abstract

We report on 6 months of data since the introduction of ultrabrief pulse width electroconvulsive therapy (UB ECT) at a private psychiatric hospital in Adelaide. Results suggest that psychiatrists welcomed the availability of UB ECT, with an increase in prescription of ECT. About a quarter of UB ECT patients changed to standard pulse width (SPW) ECT, but those who did respond to UB ECT had an equivalent response to those who had SPW ECT. Courses of treatment were longer with UB ECT, which was reflected in an increased length of stay.

摘要

我们报告了阿德莱德一家私立精神病院引入超短脉冲宽度电惊厥疗法（UB ECT）以来的 6 个月数据。结果表明，精神病医生对 UB ECT 的可用性表示欢迎，ECT 的处方量有所增加。大约四分之一的 UB ECT 患者改用标准脉冲宽度（SPW）ECT，但那些对 UB ECT 有反应的患者与接受 SPW ECT 的患者反应相当。UB ECT 的治疗疗程较长，这反映在住院时间延长。
