Abstract

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy formerly known as electroshock is a psychiatric treatment in which seizures were electrically induced to provide relief from psychiatric disorder. The most common technique of anaesthesia used during ECT is General Anaesthesia with bag and mask ventilation which is being used for a long time. However, there are case reports of pulmonary edema, bronchospasm, hemodynamic changes during this technique, so we want to compare the effectiveness of I-gel over bag and mask ventilation in ECT.

Methods: In our study 50 patients were randomized and 25 of them were ventilated with bag and mask. The other 25 patients were ventilated with I-gel. Vital parameters were monitored intra-operatively and postoperatively we observed nausea, vomiting, bronchospasm, sore throat, laryngospasm.

Results: Statistically significant difference were found in mean heart rate and blood pressure values in both the groups. Also we noticed 2 cases of nausea, 1 case of vomiting 2 cases of sore throat in bag and mask group whereas 2 cases of bronchospasm in I-gel group.

Conclusion: Hemodynamic variables were better controlled in I-gel group. Also the post operative complications were less in I-gel group.
