The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
A patient with the neuroleptic malignant syndrome had a cardiac arrest after the administration of modified ECT. After the syndrome resolved, ECT was given without problems. These results suggest ECT is risky during but not after the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
