The anaesthetic approach adopted in ECT practice has the potential to influence patient outcomes. However, the impact of the time interval between anaesthetic induction and ECT stimulus administration has not been studied prospectively to date. This variable may represent an indirect measure of anaesthetic concentration at the time of stimulation, and therefore may influence the quality of seizures induced.
