Effect of Subanesthetic Dose of Ketamine Combined With Propofol on Cognitive Function in Depressive Patients Undergoing Electroconvulsive Therapy

Abstract

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for depression compared with the current antidepressant agents，but the most important side effect is cognitive dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to determine whether subanesthetic dose of ketamine combined with propofol is superior to propofol anesthesia alone in improving cognitive function in depressive patients undergoing ECT.
