Seizure durations in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) were determined by both EEG and BP cuff methods in 20 patients receiving 225 seizures. The estimates were highly correlated, with cuff estimates 10% shorter than those by EEG. Routine monitoring of seizure duration by the BP cuff method is recommended, particularly in unilateral ECT. Monitoring seizure time should resolve controversies over the efficacy of different forms of ECT, as well as improve clinical practice where disturbing reports of missed seizures are now documented.
在接受225次癫痫发作治疗的20名患者中，通过脑电图（EEG）和血压袖带法测定了电休克治疗（ECT）中的癫痫发作持续时间。两种方法的估计结果高度相关，血压袖带法的估计值比脑电图法短10%。建议采用血压袖带法常规监测癫痫发作持续时间，尤其是在单侧ECT中。监测癫痫发作时间应能解决关于不同形式ECT疗效的争议，并改善目前有漏诊癫痫发作令人不安报告的临床实践。
