Feldstein, R. Abrams and J. by M. Fink, Volavka (New York), with the goal of reducing confusion and other side effects of such therapy while maintaining its beneficial action. Seizures with unilateral electrode placements results in less clouding of consciousness, earlier waking, and less memory impairment than bitemporal placement. bilateral ECT produces its Conventional major impact on auditory verbal memory, short~term memory is influenced little by either unilateral bilateral and Visual bilateral result in prolonged EEG slowing with larger amplitudes over the left hemisphere, while unilateral ECT produces higher amplitudes on the treated (right) side. Bilateral ECT is usually clinically more effective and faster. There is a persistent advantage to bilateral ECT for the first 4 treatments, but little difference thereafter; an equivalent clinical effect was seen for 5 unilateral versus 4 ECT. The EEG seizures produced bilateral treatments. by The use of multiple ECT ECTS, 4 or 6 hyperoxygenation, appears to have approximately the same as the same number of single treatments. ECT It per day, under effect was concluded that unilateral is almost as efective as bilateral treatment, withofittthe memory loss. on memory accompanying Further study of multiple treatments are necessary. has been thought that treatment effectiveness but the persistence of slow wave is related to activity appears to memory It loss, be more important.
