Details

At the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Summarize the current opinion on stimulate electrode placement and stimulus parameters, including ultra-brief pulse width 2. Demonstrate basic knowledge of the ictal EEG features and their use in determination of seizure quality 3. Describe preselected dosing and threshold-based dosing strategies 4. Illustrate commonly used electrode placements (bitemporal, d’Elia, bifrontal, LART) 5. Recognize the necessity for suprathreshold stimulation in unilateral electrode placements 6. Describe ways to titrate the electrical dosing for different groups of patients to seizure threshold 7. Describe treatment schedules using appropriate standardized tables for electrical dosing 8. Describe and draw the electrical waveform used in most contemporary ECT devices 9. Calculate the charge delivered during a stimulus in millicoulombs (mC) 10. Recognize the distinct impact of each parameter of the ECT stimulus (pulse width, current, frequency, duration)
