Abstract
The occurrence of perstimulus asystole is not considered as a serious complication of ECT and therefore as a contra-indication to any future sessions. On the contrary, most authors are campaigning for the continuation of shocks with the possibility of adding prophylactic intravenous atropine. Cardiac arrest reminds us that ECT requires a special attention to its cardiovascular effect, which emphasizes the role of interdisciplinarity between anaesthesiologists and psychiatrists.
