The COVID-19 pandemic has had major consequences for the organization of care. In France and around the world, centers practicing electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) have seen their activity decrease, or even stop for many reasons. In this context, maintaining or resuming this essential therapeutic activity for many patients suffering from psychiatric disorders requires material, human and logistical adaptations that should be supervised. The objective of this collective and national work is to offer simple recommendations that can be applied immediately by any healthcare establishment, public or private, practicing ECT. They are the result of feedback from multiprofessional and inter-establishment experiences. Declined in three stages, these recommendations are accompanied by a practical sheet which describes in detail the necessary conditions and prerequisites for any resumption of ECT activity.
新冠疫情对医疗服务的组织产生了重大影响。在法国乃至全球，开展电休克治疗（ECT）的中心因多种原因导致其业务量减少，甚至停止。在此背景下，对于许多患有精神疾病的患者而言，维持或恢复这一关键治疗活动需要在物资、人力和后勤方面进行调整，且这些调整应受到监督。这项全国性集体工作的目标是提供简单的建议，任何公立或私立的开展ECT治疗的医疗机构均可立即采用。这些建议源自多专业和多机构经验的反馈。这些建议分三个阶段阐述，并附有一份实用指南，详细描述了恢复ECT治疗活动所需的条件和前提。
