Intravenous Ketamine to Facilitate Transport of Agitated Patients to the ECT Clinic.
Objectives: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can be effective for a variety of psychiatric conditions, including for some patients who are very psychotic or agitated. Transferring such patients from the psychiatric ward to the ECT clinic can pose significant challenges for treating teams, as they try to minimize the use of restraint.
Methods: We developed a protocol for safe transfer of such patients using sedation with ketamine. An intravenous cannula is inserted on the ward in a low stimulus environment with gentle supportive holds. Intravenous ketamine is given in a bolus at 0.5-2.0 mg/kg. The patient is transported on a transfer bed to the ECT clinic within a few minutes, and usual ECT process is immediately followed.
Results: We describe 6 patients who were given between 1 and 11 ECT treatments using this method. All of them finished ECT courses without the need for ketamine sedation. Five of them regained capacity, provided informed consent for further ECTs, and eventually reached remission.
Conclusions: Ketamine can be used to manage risk and transfer agitated patients to an ECT clinic for treatment.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of ECT covers all aspects of contemporary electroconvulsive therapy, reporting on major clinical and research developments worldwide. Leading clinicians and researchers examine the effects of induced seizures on behavior and on organ systems; review important research results on the mode of induction, occurrence, and propagation of seizures; and explore the difficult sociological, ethical, and legal issues concerning the use of ECT.
