“…ECT should be given weekly for 1 month, then every 2 weeks, with flexibility according to response and side effects. increased cognitive adverse effects in the treatment of depression, careful consideration of the benefits and risks is warranted before prescribing prolonged index courses of bitemporal ECT (Dunne and McLoughlin, 2012;Phutane et al, 2013;Sackeim et al, 2006). The adverse cognitive effects of ECT in people with schizophrenia appear to be consistent with those observed in the treatment of depression.…”

Objectives: This guideline provides recommendations for the clinical management of schizophrenia and related disorders for health professionals working in Australia and New Zealand. It aims to encourage all clinicians to adopt best practice principles. The recommendations represent the consensus of a group of Australian and New Zealand experts in the management of schizophrenia and related disorders. This guideline includes the management of ultra-high risk syndromes, first-episode psychoses and prolonged psychoses, including psychoses associated with substance use. It takes a holistic approach, addressing all aspects of the care of people with schizophrenia and related disorders, not only correct diagnosis and symptom relief but also optimal recovery of social function. Methods:The writing group planned the scope and individual members drafted sections according to their area of interest and expertise, with reference to existing systematic reviews and informal literature reviews undertaken for this guideline. In addition, experts in specific areas contributed to the relevant sections. All members of the writing group reviewed the entire document. The writing group also considered relevant international clinical practice guidelines. Evidence-based recommendations were formulated when the writing group judged that there was sufficient evidence on a topic. Where evidence was weak or lacking, consensus-based recommendations were formulated. Consensus-based recommendations are based on the consensus of a group of experts in the field and are informed by their agreement as a group, according to their collective clinical and research knowledge and experience. Key considerations were selected and reviewed by the writing group. To encourage wide community participation, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists invited review by its committees and members, an expert advisory committee and key stakeholders including professional bodies and special interest groups. RANZCP GuidelinesGalletly et al. 411 Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 50(5)Results: The clinical practice guideline for the management of schizophrenia and related disorders reflects an increasing emphasis on early intervention, physical health, psychosocial treatments, cultural considerations and improving vocational outcomes. The guideline uses a clinical staging model as a framework for recommendations regarding assessment, treatment and ongoing care. This guideline also refers its readers to selected published guidelines or statements directly relevant to Australian and New Zealand practice. Conclusions:This clinical practice guideline for the management of schizophrenia and related disorders aims to improve care for people with these disorders living in Australia and New Zealand. It advocates a respectful, collaborative approach; optimal evidence-based treatment; and consideration of the specific needs of those in adverse circumstances or facing additional challenges.

“…Global cognitive function at baseline, as measured by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE: Engedal et al, 1988;Folstein et al, 1975), has not been shown to discriminate between remitters and non-remitters (Hausner et al, 2011;Oudega et al, 2011). Although being widely used as a test of cognition in ECT research, it provides only an overall score which cannot be localized to particular cognitive domains (Dunne and McLoughlin, 2012). Hence, it remains to be established whether specific cognitive functions are predictive of remission after ECT.…”

“…For example, in bifrontal ECT, moving the stimulating electrodes more anteriorly, away from the temporal lobe, has resulted in less cognitive side effects, but comparable efficacy, to bitemporal ECT. 14,15 Lesser temporal lobe activation with bifrontal ECT compared with bitemporal ECT has been demonstrated both in neuroimaging studies and computer modeling studies. [16][17][18][19] Of the brain structures comprising the medial temporal lobe, the HC is considered essential for memory encoding, and consolidation and minimization of HC stimulation in ECT may be a useful strategy.…”

Systematic review and meta-analysis of bifrontal electroconvulsive therapy versus bilateral and unilateral electroconvulsive therapy in depression

Abstract: Bifrontal ECT is not more effective than BT or RUL ECT but may have modest short-term benefits for specific memory domains. BF ECT has potential advantages, but given longer experience with BT and RUL, bifrontal ECT requires better characterization.
