Effect Analysis of Electroconvulsive Therapy Under Combined Anesthesia of Esketamine and Propofol in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder Accompanied with Suicidal Ideation
Objective To analyze the effects of different doses of esketamine combined with electroconvulsive therapy on patients with major depressive disorder accompanied with suicidal ideation.Esketamine,as an electroconvulsive anesthetic with antidepressant properties,has advantages and disadvantages in the treatment of patients with major depressive disorder accom-panied by suicidal ideation.It provides a reference for the better application of esketamine in clinical practice.Methods In all,120 patients were randomly divided into control group,low-dose group,and high-dose group using random number table meth-od,with 40 cases in each group(n=40).The control group was treated with slow infusion of 1.2-1.5 mg/kg propofol,the low-dose group was treated with slow infusion of 0.3 mg/kg esketamine and 1.0 mg/kg propofol,and the high-dose group was trea-ted with slow infusion of 0.6 mg/kg esketamine and 0.5-0.8 mg/kg propofol.The therapeutic effect,safety indicators,and im-pact on cognitive function were evaluated during the treatment process.Results The results of this study showed that there was no significant difference in HAMD-24 scores among control group,low-dose group,and high-dose group patients before treat-ment.After treatment with non-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy(MECT),the scores decreased among three groups.There were differences in various observation indicators between the low-dose group and high-dose group compared to the control group(all P<0.05),and there were differences in various observation indicators between the low-dose group and high-dose group(all P<0.05).The Repetitive Neuropsychological State Test(RBANS)was used to evaluate the cognitive function of three groups of patients.The results showed that the RBANS scores of the high-dose group were significantly higher than those of the low-dose group and control group after treatment(all P<0.05).There was no serious adverse reactions among the 120 patients in the three groups,and the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The Beck Suicide Intention Scale was used to evaluate the efficacy of suicide ideation in three groups of patients after treatment.The results showed that the Beck Suicide Intention Scale scores in the high-dose group were significantly lower than those in the low-dose group and control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The symptoms of severe depression and suicidal ideation in all three groups of patients have been improved.The efficacy of using different anesthetics and doses on patients with severe depression accompanied by suicidal ideation shows significant differences with dose changes,and no serious adverse reactions have occurred.The safety of its clinical application has been verified,and it is worth further promotion in clinical practice.
