OBJECTIVE: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective treatment for major depression. Brief pulse width (BPW; pulse width, 1.0 m/s) ECT is often associated with cognitive impairment. Ultrabrief (UB; pulse width, 0.3 m/s) ECT is better tolerated and causes less cognitive impairment so has been introduced as an alternative. Previous research has shown that more treatments are needed with UB ECT; however, there has not been any previous research into the impact of prescribing UB ECT on length of stay. METHODS: This study reports naturalistic data collected from 258 inpatients in a private psychiatric hospital for 2 years since the introduction of UB ECT. Clinician and self-rated scales of depression severity and hospital service dat...
