title: [Anesthetic management for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in a patient with primary aldosteronism].
abstract: A 68-year-old male with primary aldosteronism who was scheduled for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). We used propofol and suxamethonium to induce anesthesia, and measured plasma levels of aldosterone to evaluate the influence of ECT during anesthesia. Although plasma levels of aldosterone increased gradually after ECT, there were no complications including severe hypertension or arrhythmia perioperatively.
