Abstract

A 40-year old man with severe psychosis and unresponsive to pharmacotherapy was treated with ECT despite the presence of Harrington Rods implanted after a suicide attempt. Complete relaxation was obtained with succinylcholine chloride 2.3 mg/kg and he received nine ECT without any musculoskeletal complications, nor did recovery from the treatments appear to be delayed.
