- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Effects of atropine and aminophylline on respiratory problems that occur after electroconvulsive therapy.<br>The respiratory sounds were auscultated by the anesthesia physician before and after the procedure. Findings were recorded as normal respiratory sounds, fine crackles, coarse crackles or wheezing[immediately, 1minute and 2 minute after electroconvulsive therapy]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method post electroconvulsive therapy seizure's duration effect on respiratory problem incidence.<br>Seizure time was defined as the total time between the implementation of electricity until the last seizure seen at the end of the clonic phase (isolated forearm technique was used).<br>The respiratory sounds were auscultated by the anesthesia physician before and after the procedure. Findings were recorded as normal respiratory sounds, fine crackles, coarse crackles or wheezing.[immediately, 1minute and 2 minute after electroconvulsive therapy.]
