The survey included 35 questions related to AEs and their prevention and\/or treatment in the responding units\u2019 ECT patient populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our survey reached 19 out of 26 units in Finland, with 17 units completing the full questionnaire. Headache, myalgia and postictal confusion (PIC) emerged as the most frequently reported AEs. Nausea and high blood pressure were reported less often. Only a few units reported AEs known to be rare, such as accidental awareness during general anesthesia and the aspiration of gastric contents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:label\/>\n                    <jats:p>However, there was considerable variation in the recognition and treatment of those ECT\u2010related AEs the diagnosis of which depends more on patients\u2019 self\u2010reporting, including headache, myalgia or nausea. Five units (29%) reported frequent or occasional headache or myalgia and four units (24%) reported occasional nausea experienced by their patients, but these AEs were addressed pharmacologically in those units neither by prophylaxis nor by treatment. This raises concern about whether these AEs are perceived as an insignificant issue in delivering ECT treatment, thus requiring no intervention, or if those AEs should be better recognized and and managed more actively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>AEs related to ECT treatment are common, but some still appear poorly recognized and treated. Regarding treatment adherence, minimizing potential AEs whenever feasible can be considered important. A thorough preoperative assessment of patients is required to identify possible risk factors for AEs. An objective and structured evaluation tool for recognizing adverse effects in patients undergoing ECT treatment would be useful.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.70227","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,20]],"date-time":"2025-01-20T02:10:23Z","timestamp":1737339023000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Recognition and Management of Adverse Effects in Electroconvulsive Therapy: Findings From a Finnish Survey Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Saara H.","family":"Huoponen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Turku University Central Hospital, Division of Operative Services, Intensive Care and Acute Pain Management Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katrin","family":"Sisa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Turku University Central Hospital, Division of Operative Services, Intensive Care and Acute Pain Management Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Saari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Turku University Central Hospital, Division of Operative Services, Intensive Care and Acute Pain Management Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Markku","family":"Taittonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Turku University Central Hospital, Division of Operative Services, Intensive Care and Acute Pain Management Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5745-4041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulla","family":"Ahlm\u00e9n\u2010Laiho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Turku University, Feculty of Medicine and Turku University Central Hospital, Division of Operative Services, Intensive Care and Acute Pain Management Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-48910-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psc.2016.04.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/YCT.0000000000000133"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa032196"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17512433.2021.1919084"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ALN.0000000000003725"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/YCT.0b013e3181b07c0a"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","article-title":"Lidocaine for Reducing Propofol\u2010Induced Pain on Induction of Anaesthesia in Adults","volume":"2","author":"Euasobhon P.","year":"2016","journal-title":"Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Online)"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2023.1170931"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.298.3.330"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2024.33.5.S4"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","article-title":"The Incidence and Predictors of Headache and Myalgia in Patients After Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)","volume":"6","author":"Haghighi M.","year":"2016","journal-title":"Anesthesia and Pain Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Huoponen S.
