Recovery after ECT: comparison of propofol, etomidate and thiopental.
To compare post anesthetic time for patient recovery after electroconvulsive therapy, as measured by the post anesthetic Recovery Score of Aldrete and Kroulik, using three different types of hypnotic drugs (propofol, etomidate and thiopental). ⋯ These findings suggest that, although there seems to be no difference in the clinical outcome across these three drugs, propofol offers the best recovery profile.
