Validation of the 10-Item Orientation Questionnaire: A New Tool for Monitoring Post–Electroconvulsive Therapy Disorientation

Conclusions The 10-Item Orientation Questionnaire when administered at 30 minutes after ECT is sensitive for detecting patients with slow recovery of orientation after ECT. Use of this instrument therefore has potential for improving routine patient monitoring in clinical practice and identifying patients at increased risk of retrograde memory adverse effects following treatment.
