Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the treatment modalities in psychiatry that has stood the test of time for years. ECT has been used in various psychiatric conditions in the elderly. Comorbid medical conditions and cognitive deficits have been the prime concerns in this population. The indications and contraindications of use of ECT in the elderly population are same as that in an adult. ECT has also been found to be effective in patients with Parkinson's disease and dementia. Pre-ECT evaluation and cognitive evaluation prior and during ECT are inevitable. The determination of right technique, dose, frequency, and assessment of side effects are prerequisites to the usage of ECT in elderly. Owing to risk of cognitive side effects, right unilateral ECT is preferred. In carefully selected indications, ECT may be a superior management modality than pharmacotherapy.
电休克治疗(ECT)是一种经过多年时间考验的精神病学治疗方式。ECT已用于老年人的各种精神疾病。合并疾病和认知缺陷一直是这一人群最关心的问题。老年人群使用ECT的适应症和禁忌症与成年人相同。ECT也被发现对帕金森病和痴呆症患者有效。ECT前评估和ECT前后的认知评估是不可避免的。确定正确的技术、剂量、频率和副作用评估是老年人使用ECT的先决条件。由于存在认知副作用的风险,首选右侧单侧ECT。在精心选择的适应症中,ECT可能是一种比药物治疗更好的治疗方式。

Introduction: The number of elder patients with severe psychiatric illnesses other than depression is increasing. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has a special role in the treatment of late-life depression and other psychiatric conditions in the elderly. Using ECTs in the elderly could be difficult. In an Indian setting, ECT in the geriatric population is used as last resort of treatment which is in contrast to Western countries. There is dearth of data available for the use of ECT in the elderly in India. Methodology: Retrospective data review was carried out to identify patients 55 years or older who had received ECT from January 2014 to June 2016 in tertiary care teaching hospital in a metropolitan city in India. Results: A total of 304 ECTs were administered to 25 elderly aged >55 years with average of 12 ECTs per patient. Schizophrenia (56%) was the most common diagnosis among patients who were considered for ECT, and this was followed by major depression without psychotic features (24%) and major depression with psychotic features (8%). The most common indication to start ECT was nonresponsiveness to medications (92%). There was an increase in mean Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores from baseline (23.42) to the end of the sixth (24.60) and last ECT (24.60). Duration of current used during ECT had positive correlation with MMSE. Patients with comorbid medical illness (20%) received ECT without any complication. Conclusions: This study adds to scarce database on the use of ECT in old-age patients in India and adds to evidence that ECT is safe and effective treatment in old age with no negative impact on cognition.
引言:患有抑郁症以外的严重精神疾病的老年患者人数正在增加。电休克疗法(ECT)在治疗老年人晚期抑郁症和其他精神疾病方面具有特殊作用。在老年人中使用ECTs可能很困难。在印度,老年人的ECT被用作最后的治疗手段,这与西方国家不同。印度缺乏在老年人中使用ECT的数据。方法:进行回顾性数据审查,以确定2014年1月至2016年6月在印度一个大都市的三级护理教学医院接受ECT治疗的55岁或以上患者。结果:25名年龄>55岁的老年人共接受了304次ECTs,平均每位患者接受12次ECTs。在考虑ECT的患者中,精神分裂症(56%)是最常见的诊断,其次是没有精神病特征的严重抑郁症(24%)和有精神病特征(8%)的严重抑郁症。开始ECT最常见的指征是对药物无反应(92%)。从基线(23.42)到第六次(24.60)和最后一次ECT(24.60。患有合并症的患者(20%)接受ECT治疗,没有任何并发症。结论:这项研究增加了关于印度老年患者使用ECT的稀缺数据库,并增加了ECT是安全有效的老年治疗方法,对认知没有负面影响的证据。

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been used widely in adult patients with depression and resistant auditory hallucinations. There is a paucity of data for rTMS use in geriatric patients for these indications. Recent research has revealed newer avenues for the use of rTMS in clinical geriatric psychiatry practice which includes mild cognitive impairment and dementia. rTMS is also being looked at as an effective treatment when combined with cognitive training in the management of Alzheimer's disease. The present review discusses the various uses of rTMS in geriatric psychiatry. This paper analyzes the various studies done with rTMS in older patients in various indications and the safety and efficacy of the procedure are also evaluated. The need for further studies in this area using larger samples is also mentioned.
重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)已广泛应用于成人抑郁症和顽抗幻听患者。rTMS在老年患者中用于这些适应症的数据缺乏。最近的研究揭示了在临床老年精神病学实践中使用rTMS的新途径,包括轻度认知障碍和痴呆。rTMS也被视为一种有效的治疗方法,当它与认知训练相结合时,就可以治疗阿尔茨海默病。本综述讨论了rTMS在老年精神病学中的各种应用。本文分析了rTMS在老年患者中各种适应症的各种研究,并对该手术的安全性和有效性进行了评估。还提到了在该领域使用更大样本进行进一步研究的必要性。

Background: Although electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-established treatment modality worldwide for elderly with severe psychiatric disorders, literature is sparse in India. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients aged 60 years and above (n = 90) who received a course of ECTs between April 2003 and 2013 in National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, a tertiary care neuropsychiatric institute, was carried out. For each elderly person, the next consecutive nonelderly ECT patient was selected as a control (n = 85). Clinical, demographic, and ECT variables were compared. Results: Depression (n = 57; 63.3%) was the most common diagnosis for ECT among the elderly while schizophrenia (n = 28; 32.9%) was most common among controls (P < 0.01); suicidal ideas were the most common indication (n = 25; 28.4%) among the elderly while aggression was the most common indication among controls (n = 28; 33.3%) (P = 0.004). Elderly received more number of ECTs (mean [standard deviation (SD)] 8.0 [3.0] vs. 6.4 [2.8]; P ≤ 0.01), had higher seizure threshold (mean [SD] 135.3 [76.9] mc vs. 81.3 [54.2] mc; P < 0.01), and experienced lesser duration of motor seizures (mean [SD] 38.48 [9.72] s vs. 48.90 [14.66]; P < 0.01). Immediate post-ECT cognitive deficits were more in the elderly (n = 19; 21.6% vs. n = 7; 8.3%; P = 0.02). Case records showed no between-group differences both at the end of 3-month (P = 0.40) and 6-month (P = 0.50) follow-up for cognitive complaints. Mean (standard deviation) Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scores at the end of ECT course were 2.3 (0.9) versus 2.4 (0.8) (P = 0.5) among elderly and nonelderly, respectively. These scores were comparable at the end of 3 as well as 6 months' follow-up. Conclusions: This retrospective chart review showed ECT to be safe and effective for geriatric patients with severe psychiatric disorders including cognitive adverse effects. However, prospective studies would help to better establish cognitive adverse effects of ECT.
背景:虽然电痉挛疗法(ECT)是世界范围内治疗老年严重精神疾病的一种行之有效的治疗方式,但在印度文献很少。材料和方法:对2003年4月至2013年4月在班加罗尔国家精神卫生和神经科学研究所(三级护理神经精神病学研究所)接受ECTs课程的60岁及以上患者(n = 90)进行回顾性图表回顾。对于每个老年人,选择下一个连续的非老年人ECT患者作为对照(n = 85)。比较临床、人口学和ECT变量。结果:抑郁症(n = 57;63.3%)是老年人中最常见的ECT诊断,而精神分裂症(n = 28;32.9%),对照组最常见(P < 0.01);自杀念头是最常见的指征(n = 25;28.4%),而攻击是对照组中最常见的指征(n = 28;33.3%) (p = 0.004)。老年人获得的ECTs数更多(平均[标准差(SD)] 8.0 [3.0] vs. 6.4 [2.8];P≤0.01),发作阈值较高(平均[SD] 135.3 [76.9] mc比81.3 [54.2]mc;P < 0.01),运动癫痫发作持续时间较短(平均[SD] 38.48 [9.72] s比48.90 [14.66];P < 0.01)。老年人在ect后立即出现认知缺陷(n = 19;21.6%对n = 7;8.3%;P = 0.02)。病例记录显示,在3个月(P = 0.40)和6个月(P = 0.50)随访结束时,组间认知抱怨均无差异。在老年人和非老年人中,ECT课程结束时临床总体印象改善评分的平均值(标准差)分别为2.3(0.9)和2.4 (0.8)(P = 0.5)。这些分数在随访3个月和6个月时具有可比性。结论:本回顾性图表回顾显示电痉挛治疗严重精神疾病包括认知不良反应的老年患者是安全有效的。然而,前瞻性研究将有助于更好地确定电痉挛疗法的认知不良反应。

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an important modality of treatment for various psychiatric disorders in all age groups. The trends of use of ECT in the elderly population have not been studied despite wide variation in the utilization of this treatment modality. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the trends in use of ECT in geriatric patients at a tertiary care center over a period of 9 years. Methodology: Data were extracted from the departmental registry for the period of 2008–2016 to evaluate the total number of new patients attending the psychiatric services, total number of new elderly (i.e., ≥60 years) patients attending the psychiatric services, total number of inpatients, total number of elderly inpatients, total number of patients who received ECT, and total number of elderly patients who received ECT. Results: During the period of 2008–2016, elderly formed from 4.6% to 19.11% of the total number of patients who received ECT. There was an upward trend in the proportion of elderly patients receiving ECT, with a nearly 10-fold rise in absolute number and doubling of the percentage of elderly patients among those receiving ECT. Over the years, there was an increase in use of ECT among elderly inpatients and use of ECT as an outpatient treatment for elderly. Conclusion: Over the years, there has been increase in the absolute number as well as proportion of elderly patients receiving ECT. There is a significant increase in the use of ECT among elderly at the outpatient basis.
背景:电休克治疗(ECT)是治疗所有年龄组的各种精神疾病的重要方式。尽管ECT在老年人群中的应用存在很大差异,但尚未对其趋势进行研究。目的:本研究旨在评估九年来三级护理中心老年患者使用ECT的趋势。方法:从部门登记处提取2008-2016年期间的数据,以评估接受精神病服务的新患者总数、接受精神病治疗的新老年(即≥60岁)患者总数、住院患者总数、老年住院患者总数和接受ECT治疗的患者总数,以及接受ECT治疗的老年患者总数。结果:在2008-2016年期间,老年人占接受ECT治疗的患者总数的4.6%至19.11%。接受ECT治疗的老年患者比例呈上升趋势,绝对人数增加了近10倍,接受ECT治疗者中老年患者的比例翻了一番。多年来,ECT在老年住院患者中的使用有所增加,ECT作为老年人门诊治疗的使用也有所增加。结论:多年来,接受ECT治疗的老年患者的绝对数量和比例都在增加。在门诊的老年人中,ECT的使用显著增加。

Electroconvulsive therapy in the elderly: Anesthetic considerations and Psychotropic interactions 老年人电休克治疗:麻醉考虑和精神药物相互作用
Pub Date : 2017-07-01 DOI: 10.4103/JGMH.JGMH_2_17

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been found to be a rapid and effective treatment strategy for psychiatric and neurological conditions in the elderly, but the administration of ECT in the elderly can be challenging due to a high risk of adverse events. The increased risk can be attributed to a declined physiological reserve, the presence of physical comorbidities, and the use of multiple drugs, which interact with the electrical stimulus and the anesthetic medications used during the ECT procedure. The selection of appropriate induction agents and muscle relaxants should be guided by patient's clinical status and the psychotropic drugs being used. Modifications in the doses of psychotropic drugs also need to be carried out before ECT to reduce cardiovascular and neurological side effects. Modification in the conduct of anesthesia can also aid in augmenting seizures and in preventing common side effects of ECT. A vital step in preventing adverse events in the elderly is carrying out a thorough pre.ECT evaluation. Despite these challenges, ECT can be carried out safely in elderly patients with severe comorbidities, provided clinical ECT, and anesthetic parameters are adequately optimized.
电休克治疗(ECT)已被发现是治疗老年人精神和神经疾病的一种快速有效的治疗策略,但由于不良事件的高风险,在老年人中使用ECT可能具有挑战性。风险增加可归因于生理储备下降、身体合并症的存在以及多种药物的使用,这些药物与电刺激和ECT过程中使用的麻醉药物相互作用。应根据患者的临床状况和使用的精神药物来选择合适的诱导剂和肌肉松弛剂。在ECT之前还需要对精神药物的剂量进行调整,以减少心血管和神经系统的副作用。改变麻醉方式也有助于增加癫痫发作和预防ECT的常见副作用。预防老年人不良事件的一个重要步骤是进行彻底的预防。ECT评估。尽管存在这些挑战,只要临床ECT和麻醉参数得到充分优化,ECT可以在患有严重合并症的老年患者中安全地进行。

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective therapeutic intervention in the elderly patients with major depression, especially those with psychosis, suicidality, catatonia, nutritional compromise, and resistance to medications. Response rates can be as high as 80%. We present an extensive review of the relevant literature, provide a description of the ECT program at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, USA, and present results of our experience with ECT in fifty elderly patients.

Patients in the long-term maintenance ECT program continue to show sustained benefits from ECT.
电休克治疗(ECT)是一种有效的老年重度抑郁症患者的治疗干预,特别是那些有精神病、自杀倾向、紧张症、营养不良和药物抵抗的患者。响应率可高达80%。我们对相关文献进行了广泛的回顾,对美国弗吉尼亚州里士满的弗吉尼亚联邦大学的ECT项目进行了描述,并介绍了我们对50名老年患者进行ECT治疗的经验结果。这些治疗是安全的,耐受性良好,并且产生了高有效率,在68%到84%之间变化。长期维持ECT项目的患者继续从ECT中获得持续的益处。

The main objective of the present study was to assess the health-care utilization pattern and socioeconomic features of elderly who incurred catastrophic health expenditure. Materials and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted employing multi-stage sampling technique to collect data from a total of 404 elderly residing in Lucknow district. Data were collected on health care utilization and related health care expenditure with by the means of a questionnaire. Results: Out of 404 elderly, 15.8% incurred catastrophic expenditure. Among all the study participants, 33.1% who sought in-patient care and 13.8% who sought exclusive out-patient care incurred catastrophic health expenditure. Conclusion: Proportion of those facing catastrophic expenditure was high among lower income group. Thus, patients who lie at the bottom of income pyramid need higher protection as compared to those who are at the top.
