Summary
Hemodynamic changes associated with the conduct of electroconvulsive therapy may be minimized
with the administration of alfentanil as part of their anesthetic regimen. This study
proposes to compare the effects in a blinded fashion. Currently alfentanil is an FDA approved
drug used on a daily basis by anesthesiologists on other surgeries so this is not a new
indication.
