Unmodified ECT vs modified ECT

Nischol K Raval
Abstract:
This letter refers to the article by Chittaranjan Andrade regarding the use of unmodified ECT. The author has discussed the obvious advantages of modified ECT over unmodified ECT. He also highlights the ground realities and difficulties in practice of modified ECT. The author concludes that the use of unmodified ECT may be preferable to no ECT, as in the case when ECT is indicated but anaesthesiological facilities are unavailable or unaffordable.
