Abstract
An abnormal recovery from an anaesthetic for electro-convulsive therapy is reported. A serum lithium concentration within the toxic range without any accompanying symptoms or signs was found subsequently. The dangers of anaesthesia for patients undergoing electro-convulsive therapy and who are also receiving lithium are discussed.Keywords
