Value of Propanidid in Electro Convulsive Therapy (comparison with Thiopentone)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Propanidid due to its fast induction, early recovery and absence of cumulative action avoiding post recovery hangover is a useful agent and a better substitute for the established inducing agent, thiopentone It has all the advantages of thiopentone but lacks tbe disadvantages of the same. Its extremely short duration of action suits the short procedure of electroconvulsive therapy which gets over within one or two minutes. Use of propanidid will allow more number of E. C. Ts to be given in out patient department and will help in reducing the load on the hospital staff without compromising the safety of the patients.

A Comparative Study of Althesin and Thiopentone in Modified E.c.t.
The present report compares Thiopentone sodium and Althesin as intravenous anaesthetic agents in modified electro-convulsive therapy. The induction time with althesin and thiopentone was more or less similar. There was significantly shorter recovery period with althesin as compared to thiopentone. Early and uneventful recovery with althesin was distinct advantage over thiopentone sodium.
متن کاملComparison of thiopentone sodium and propofol for electro convulsive therapy (ECT).
OBJECTIVE For safe conduct of electro convulsive therapy (ECT), general anaesthesia is administered to the patients. In this study we compared thiopentone sodium and propofol as induction agents for ECT. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty five patients each undergoing at least 2 sessions of ECT at the psychiatry department were included in the study. Each patient either received thiopentone or propo...
متن کاملA comparison of the acute haemodynamic effects of thiopentone, methohexitone and propanidid in the dog.
The acute haemodynamic efifects of thiopentone, methohexitone and propanidid have been compared in anaesthetized dogs. All three drugs caused a reduction in arterial blood pressure and minor changes in cardiac output, but whereas thiopentone and methohexitone had similar effects propanidid was found to be three times as potent as thiopentone in its effect upon arterial systolic pressure. Thiope...
متن کاملHistamine release in man by propanidid and thiopentone: pharmacological effects and clinical consequences.
Using a new, highly sensitive and specific method for the determination of histamine in human plasma, it was shown that release of histamine followed injection of propanidid and thiopentone. Observations of gastric secretion, arterial pressure and pulse rate supported these findings. In normal persons the release of histamine had no special clinical significance. On the other hand, when anaphyl...
متن کاملThe interaction of suxamethonium with propanidid and thiopentone.
An investigation was carried out in adults aged 20-60 years comparing the interaction of propanidid or thiopentone with the muscle relaxant suxamethonium. An attempt was made to correlate the apnoea time with the incidence and severity of muscle pains. No correlation was found between the apnoea times and the incidence of muscle pains. The overall incidence of muscle pains was 19 per cent. The ...
