A Review Electroconvulsive Therapy in Cochlear Implant Patients

A Review Electroconvulsive Therapy in Cochlear Implant Patients Abstract The use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in cochlear implant (CI) users is debatable. Currently, no consensus statement exists about the safety for the patients and the implants. Here, we present a summary of the existing literature on ECT in CI users, consisting of 4 case reports and a cadaveric study. No harm to the patients or the CIs was reported. Based on our review, we have found no evidence to indicate that ECT in CI users is contraindicated. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Journal of ECT Wolters Kluwer Health
