TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Neuropsychiatric relapse following acute carbon monoxide poisoning--the contribution of electroconvulsive therapy JO - Medical journal of Australia A1 - Smith, J. S. A1 - Mellick, R. S. SP - 465 EP - 468 VL - 01 IS - 15 N2 - Four cases are described in which, after apparent recovery from deliberate acute carbon monoxide poisoning, the administration of electroconvulsive therapy was associated with a relapse, with subsequent neuropsychiatric impairment. It is suggested that, as electroconvulsive therapy could aggravate acute cerebral damage, its use during recovery from acute carbon monoxide poisoning should be abandoned.
