Subanesthetic dose of ketamine for the antidepressant effects and the associated cognitive impairments of electroconvulsive therapy in elderly patients—A randomized, double‐blind, controlled clinical study
Brain and Behavior December 11, 2020 Lei Zou, S. Min, Qibin Chen et al.
We previously confirmed that low‐dose ketamine, as an adjunctive anesthetic for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in adult patients with depression, accelerates the effects of ECT and reduces the ECT‐induced learning and memory deficits. This study explored the efficacy and safety of low‐dose ketamine in elderly patients with depression.
