2013, Journal of Psychiatric ResearchCitation Excerpt :At very high stimulus doses, i.e. above 756 mC, the charge was raised by 30% where applicable. A seizure of sufficient length was classified as of poor quality if the amplitudes of the ictal EEG were low due to visual classification of an experienced clinician, or if the postictal suppression was poor, as the latter finding suggests that the stimulus was not high enough supra-threshold (Nobler et al., 1993; Suppes et al., 1996; Krystal et al., 1995, 1998; Perera et al., 2004; Riddle et al., 1993). If the electroencephalographic seizure was below 20 s, or if no seizure could be elicited, a restimulation was performed.

2005, American Journal of Geriatric PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :The same principles informing decisions about electrode placement and stimulus dosing apply equally to elderly patients and other age groups. Once initial stimulus dosing is determined, dosing of subsequent treatments must take into account changes in seizure threshold that occur over the course of treatment; increases in the range of 25% to 200% above initial threshold have been reported.128–141 Seizure duration should be monitored during each treatment, both by observation of motor activity and monitoring of at least one channel of EEG activity.
