[Electroconvulsive therapy decreased bispectral index--a case report].
A 28-year old female schizophrenic patient underwent electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) under propofol anesthesia. She received ECT five times, and Bispectral Index (BIS) was recorded four times out of the five ECT. BIS values (mean +/- SD) were 95.3 +/- 1.3 before anesthesia, 38.0 +/- 13.1 after loss of consciousness, 45.3 +/- 12.7 immediately after ECT and 27.3 +/- 11.6 about two minutes after ECT. In conclusion, ECT may decrease BIS during continuous propofol infusion.
