Objective:To evaluate the sedative effect and security of propofol on psychotics undergoing modified electroconvulsive treatment(MECT).Methods:Tow hundred and ten psychotics undergoing MECT were treated with propofol for sedation and the treating times for each case were diversely 8 to 15.The changes of HR
MAP
SpO2 were monitored
and respiration and recovery time were observed after propofol was administered.Results:Compared with pre-anesthesia
HR remained the same and MAP significantly decreased after propofol was injected intravenously(P<0.01);both HR and MAP levels increased at the beginning and end of electro-stimulus(P<0.05).HR slowed down at the end of it(P<0.05).The recovery time of breath was(3.3±1.8)min and the recovery time of consciousness was(5.1±2.5)min.Conclusion:Propofol could be safely and effectively used in MECT for sedation
making the patient get consciousness soon without significant adverse effects.
