Restimulation could stop status epilepticus after electroconvulsive therapy: 2 case reports
Status epilepticus after ECT can be resolved by restimulation when standard interventions are unsuccessful, thereby avoiding potential neurological complications. We provide an overview of the mechanism and current clinical evidence supporting this strategy, and propose an amended clinical practice protocol for SE after ECT.
