ABSTRACT

Entre los efectos adversos de la terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC), las quejas sobre disfunción mnésica son los más frecuentes y relevantes para los pacientes. Tras la TEC, la amnesia anterógrada y retrógrada son más determinantes para la memoria explícita y puede tener un efecto persistente sobre la episódica impersonal. La memoria implícita no suele resultar afectada. Los factores relacionados con más déficit son: TEC bilateral, dosis supraumbral elevada, onda sinusal, 3 tratamientos por semana, alteración cognitiva previa a la TEC y tiempo prolongado en recuperar la orientación tras ésta, agentes anestésicos y edad


One of the most frequent and important complaints made by patients about electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is memory dysfunction. After ECT, anterograde and retrograde amnesia are more marked for explicit memory, and could have a lasting effect on impersonal episodic memory. Implicit memory is not usually affected. The factors related to severe dysfunction are: bilateral ECT, markedly suprathreshold stimulus, sinus wave, treatment three times per week, cognitive alteration before ECT and prolonged time to recovery of orientation after ECT, anesthetic agents, and age
