Description
Summary:In 1937, Ugo Cerletti and Lucio Bini performed electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) in Rome for the first time. That was the time when different types of 'shock therapy' were performed; beside ECT, insulin therapies, cardiazol shock therapy, etc. were also performed. In 1938, Cerletti and Bini reported the results of ECT. Since then, this method has spread rapidly to a large number of countries. As early as 1940, just two years after the results of the ECT had been published, it was also introduced in Croatia, at Sestre milosrdnice Hospital, for the first time in our hospital and in the then state of Yugoslavia. Since 1960, again the first in Croatia and the state, we performed ECT in general anesthesia and continued it down to the present, with a single time brake. Key words: Electroconvulsive therapy; General anesthesia; History; Hospital; Croatia Ugo Cerletti i Lucio Bini prvi put su izveli elektrokonvulzivnu terapiju (EKT) 1937. godine u Rimu. To je bilo doba kada su se provodile razlicite vrste "sok terapija"; uz EKT bile su to jos inzulinske terapije, kardiazolski sokovi itd. O rezultatima EKT Cerletti i Bini izvijestili su 1938. godine i od tada se ta metoda vrlo brzo prosirila u velik broj zemalja. Vec 1940., samo dvije godine nakon objave rezultata o EKT, uvodi se i u Hrvatskoj u Bolnici Sestara milosrdnica, prvi puta u nas i u ondasnjoj drzavi Kraljevini Jugoslaviji. Od 1960. godine, opet prvi u Hrvatskoj i ondasnjoj drzavi, u nasoj bolnici radimo EKT u opcoj anesteziji sve do danasnjih dana samo s jednim prekidom.
