Electroconvulsive practice in Singapore: a cross-sectional national survey.
CONCLUSION: The practice of ECT in Singapore was highly uniform. The rates and indications for ECT were consistent with other developed countries, with more use for schizophrenia. Future advances for ECT in Singapore include the use of individualised dosing based on empirical seizure threshold titration, expanded electrode placements and increased utilisation of continuation/maintenance ECT.
