Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment for affective catatonia and requires multiple general anesthetics. Morbid obesity is an increasingly prevalent condition that may complicate the standard anesthetic management of a patient undergoing ECT. We report the successful airway management of a morbidly obese ECT patient via elective tracheostomy. |
