Summary
Propofol is routinely used in our hospital for ECT. It causes hypotension and has
anticonvulsant actions. Use of ketofol ( 1:1 combination of ketamine and propofol) during ECT
can have longer seizure duration and better hemodynamics than propofol alone which ultimately
leads to better therapeutic efficacy. Motor seizure duration of minimum 20-25 seconds is
usually recommended for therapeutic efficacy of ECT.Patients planned for electroconvulsive
therapy meeting the inclusion criteria and not having exclusion criteria will be randomized
into two groups. Group K will receive titrated dose of Ketofol and Group P will receive
titrated dose of Propofol for induction of anaesthesia
