Abstract
Abstract
Background
Modified electroconvulsive therapy (m-ECT) is utilized worldwide as an effective treatment for drug-resistant psychiatric disorders. However, during m-ECT, treatment of hypotension and hypertension in response to rapid hemodynamic changes is required. We used noninvasive continuous blood pressure monitoring system for continuous hemodynamic measurement during m-ECT.
Case presentation
The patient was a 77-year-old man with depression complicated by coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs). We managed general anesthesia during m-ECT by using the ClearSight™ system (Edwards Lifesciences Corp, Irvine, CA, USA) for hemodynamic measurement. As a result, we performed a total of 10 m-ECTs. No rupture of CAAs or myocardial ischemia occurred and depressive symptoms improved.
Conclusion
We successfully managed the anesthesia in m-ECT for a depressed patient with CAAs without complications by using the ClearSight™ system, which was used for the effective management of circulatory fluctuations.
