Physiologic effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) include an: initial parasympathetic discharge followed by a sustained sympathetic response
An initial parasympathetic discharge followed by a sustained sympathetic response is immediately seen after the induction of a seizure. Marked bradycardia with increased secretions can occur, which is then followed by hypertension and tachycardia. Patients scheduled for ECT are routinely given anticholinergic medication preoperatively. pg. 659 Morgan, GE, Mikhail, MS, and Murray, MJ. Clinical Anesthesiology.
