PG  - 196-203
AB  - A controlled study on the cardiovascular safety of monoamine oxidase inhibitors 
      (MAOI) during general anesthesia for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was 
      completed. No serious changes in blood pressure, heart rate, or ectopic beats 
      were noted in either the MAOI or control groups during ECT. Based on 
      pharmacological data, a review of the literature, and these preliminary results, 
      the recommended 2-week discontinuation of MAOI before ECT appears unwarranted. 
      Clinical guidelines for the concomitant use of MAOI and general anesthesia are 
      offered.
