ECT Research

Hi everyone,
I am an ECT Coordinator in New Hampshire and I am gearing up to take a Master's level research class in November through Walden University. I am looking for any ECT nursing research ideas anyone may have. I have few ideas but want to make sure I am doing research that people would want to see.
Thanks!

Hi Leanne,
It might be interesting to look into the level of executive dysfunction found in patients who had ECT, and how they are able to function with these deficits. Another idea is researching the potential side effects of ECT including retrograde and anterograde amnesia. Good luck with your class.
