In 1937, Ugo Cerletti and Lucio Bini performed electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) in Rome for the first time. That was the time when different types of 'shock therapy' were performed; beside ECT, insulin therapies, cardiazol shock therapy, etc. were also performed. In 1938, Cerletti and Bini reported the results of ECT. Since then, this method has spread rapidly to a large number of countries. As early as 1940, just two years after the results of the ECT had been published, it was also introduced in Croatia, at Sestre milosrdnice Hospital, for the first time in our hospital and in the then state of Yugoslavia. Since 1960, again the first in Croatia and the state, we performed ECT in general anesthesia and continued it down to the present, with a single time brake.
1937 年,乌戈·切莱蒂(Ugo Cerletti)和卢奇奥·比尼(Lucio Bini)首次在罗马进行电休克治疗(ECT)。当时,除了 ECT,还进行了各种类型的“休克疗法”,如胰岛素治疗、苯甲酸钠冲击疗法等。1938 年,切莱蒂和比尼报告了 ECT 的结果。从那时起,这种方法迅速传播到许多国家。早在 1940 年,ECT 的结果发表仅两年后,ECT 就在我们医院和当时的南斯拉夫的斯捷雷米尔罗兹迪奇医院首次在克罗地亚引入。自 1960 年以来,ECT 再次在克罗地亚和该国首次在全身麻醉下进行,并一直持续到现在,仅暂停一次。
