Inducción de hipocapnia e hiperoxia con maniobras de hiperventilación reglada en la terapia electroconvulsiva

The proposed pHV manoeuvres significantly modify ventilation parameters. The hypocapnia and hyperoxia obtained by applying these manoeuvres lengthen the duration of seizures without worsening the quality of the electroencephalographic trace. The use of pHV is generalisable and might improve electroconvulsive therapy procedure without adding costs.
