Abstract/OtherAbstract:
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the Mapleson D circuit and the bag-valve-mask device for mask ventilation of patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
DESIGN: Cross-over study.
SETTING: Single-center academic medical center.
PATIENTS: 18 patients undergoing ECT for major depressive disorder.
INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized to undergo mask ventilation by the Mapleson D circuit or the bag-valve-mask device.
MEASUREMENTS: End-tidal CO(2), seizure duration, and airway pressure values were recorded.
MAIN RESULTS: End-tidal CO(2) was significantly lower with the bag-valve-mask device. When compared with the bag-valve-mask device, ventilation with the Mapleson circuit resulted in rebreathing of CO(2) in nearly all patients, shorter expiratory time, and lower pressure ramp slope.
CONCLUSIONS: Hypocapnia was not associated with longer seizures, and the user-device interaction might affect device performance.
