Electroconvulsive therapy during pregnancy: a systematic review of case studies

Abstract: This study aims to explore practice, use, and risk of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in pregnancy. A systematic search was undertaken in the databases Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, SveMed and CINAHL (EBSCO). Only primary data-based studies reporting ECT undertaken during pregnancy were included. Two reviewers independently checked study titles and abstracts according to inclusion criteria and extracted detailed use, practice, and adverse effects data from full text retrieved articles. Studies and extracted data … Show more

“…Use of marijuana can also cause many adverse health consequences, including anxiety and panic in naive users (Hall and Degenhardt, 2009), impaired respiratory function (Taylor et al, 2002), chronic bronchitis (Tetrault et al, 2007), elevated risks of increased heart rate (Jones, 2002) and myocardial infarction (Mittleman et al, 2001), and possibly lung cancer (Aldington et al, 2008; Berthiller et al, 2008). Long-term marijuana use is also associated with impaired cognitive abilities (Solowij et al, 2002), changes in brain function (Block et al, 2000), and use during pregnancy has been associated with reduced birth weight in the offspring, but not all studies (English et al, 1997; Fergusson et al, 2002; Gray et al, 2010; Brown and Graves, 2013; Huizink, 2014; Mark et al, 2015). …”

“…Extensive case-series data provide much of the rationale for the effectiveness and safety of ECT during pregnancy 76,77. Although ECT has been used safely during all three trimesters of pregnancy and no consistent patterns of fetal or birth complications have been reported,76,78 the anesthetic agents and neuromuscular blockers that are commonly employed as part of modern ECT techniques undergo transplacental passage, and case literature suggests that reduced fetal heart rate, uterine contractions, and premature labor may be adverse effects of ECT given in late pregnancy 79. Randomized trials are lacking.…”
