NCT ID NCT07273851

Summary

This study compared two anesthesia drugs used during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for severe depression. Researchers tested whether a combination drug (ketofol) helps maintain more stable blood pressure than the commonly used propofol alone. The trial involved 80 adult patients receiving ECT, with results aimed at helping doctors choose the safest anesthesia option.
