Pathway to Electroconvulsive Treatment for Minors - 01/11/18
Résumé |
The decision-making process of prescribing electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) to minors often extends outside of medicine. The legal arena is commonly involved in many jurisdictions, and some states have legislation governing the administration of this treatment in addition to hospital policies and regulations. Treatment failures, additional opinions, explicit consent, and legal tribunals are sometimes needed to deliver ECT to a minor in need. This article describes a process to which a provider can refer in navigating this confusing, and sometimes alien, pathway to provide ECT to his or her patient. Individual state statutes pertaining to ECT are provided.
