Beta-Blocking Agents and Electroconvulsive Therapy
In this review we want to summarize the results of the placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials with betablocking adrenergic agents during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and review the effect on seizure duration and cardiovascular variables. We searched for studies in the electronic databases Medline.
متن کاملNeuromuscular blocking agents for electroconvulsive therapy: a systematic review.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the transcutaneous application of small electrical stimuli to the brain to induce generalised seizures for the treatment of selected psychiatric disorders. The clinical indications for ECT as an effective therapeutic modality have been considerably expanded since its introduction. Anaesthesia and neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are required to ensure pat...
متن کاملA comparison of beta-blocking agents.
OF THE MANY beta-receptor blocking agents developed over the past two decades only one, dl-propranolol, has become generally available to American physicians. However, as experience accumulates regarding the safety and efficacy of other beta-blockers, it is likely that at least some of these drugs (many of which are widely used in Europe) will gain approval for use in the United States. Thus an...

متن کاملThe pharmacology of beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
T HE endogenously released neurotransmitter substance, norepinephrine, or an injected sympathomimetic amine, ultimately exerts its actions on an organ system by combining with an area of the effector cell termed the adrenergic “receptor site.” That drugs and neural chemical mediators react with specific receptors in living tissues was suggested by Langley”” in 1905, who suggested that effector ...
