Abstract
The authors report eight instances of ECT-induced postictal (emergence) delirium that occurred after bilateral ECT, right unilateral ECT, or left unilateral ECT. They conclude that postictal delirium is a random phenomenon unrelated to lateralized hemispheric mechanisms.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
