摘要：

At least one study has questioned the safety of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the very old. In this study, the authors reviewed a 5-year experience with ECT at two university psychiatric services for patients 75 years of age or older. Both outcomes and complications were reviewed. Nineteen of 22 patients (86.3%) were ECT responders. Five patients (22.7%) suffered complications which varied from minor to substantial. ECT was found to be an effective and reasonably safe treatment for depression in the very old. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Inc.
