Summary

The investigators will be evaluated the effects of a single loading dose of remifentanil (1µg/kg), administered as an adjunct to sevoflurane, on duration of hemodynamic profile, seizure activity, and recovery times during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with major depression

Clinical Details

Official title: Inonu University, Turgut Ozal Medical Center, Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation Malatya

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: The effects of remifentanil on the heart rate after electroconvulsive therapy

Secondary outcome:

Seizure duration

The effects of remifentanil on the mean arterial pressure after electroconvulsive therapy

Detailed description: Major depressive patients will enrolled this trial. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) and peripheral oxygen saturation values will be recorded prior to anesthetic induction (T1); following anesthetic induction (T2); and 0, 1, 3, and 10 minute after the seizure have ended (T3, T4, T5, and T6, respectively). The peak heart rate during the seizure will be recorded from the Electrocardiogram.
