%X to compare clinical effects of thyopental and propofol in electroconvulsive therapy (ect), 50 patients were studied in ¡°dr. carlos j. finlay¡± central military hospital, thyopental was used (3 mg/kg) or propofol (1.5 mg/kg) by intravenous way, and succinylcholine ( 0.5 mg/kg) ; biparietal stimulus was applied (120-150 v). following variables were analyzed: mean blood pressure, cardiac frequency and rhythm, duration of generalized seizure, and of recovery. there weren't significant statistically differences in comparison of tension figures in both groups; clinically there was a greater increase in thiopental group post generalized seizure; cardiac arrhythmias were also more frequent in this group (70 %) in comparison to propofol (14 %). generalized seizure course was of 29.84 s in propofol group, and of 37.24 in thyopental group, with recovery times of 6.85 and 8.16 average minutes, respectively. propofol was a better hypnotic for electroconvulsive therapy.
