BACKGROUND: Electroconvulsive therapy is an effective treatment for several psychiatric conditions. There are theoretical risks associated with electroconvulsive therapy in patients who are anticoagulated. However, there is no review investigating these adverse effects.
AIM: This systematic review explored the literature on using electroconvulsive therapy in anticoagulated patients, including adverse effects associated with continuation or cessation of anticoagulation during electroconvulsive therapy.
METHODS: The study was registered on PROSPERO (registration CRD42023432178). A search was conducted across CENTRAL, Embase, Medline and PsychINFO databases, with title and abstract screening, full-text review and data extraction by two independent reviewers. Patients planned for electroconvulsive therapy and on anticoagulation prior to electroconvulsive therapy were included. Papers not related to electroconvulsive therapy or anticoagulation were excluded. Data were recorded in Microsoft Excel, presented in tables.
RESULTS: The studies comprised 108 patients and over 700 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. 64.81% patients were on warfarin, 22.22% on a direct-acting oral anticoagulant, 5.55% on heparin and the rest on enoxaparin, dalteparin, acenocoumarol or bemiparin. There were two reports of both nonfatal non-central nervous system bleeding and pulmonary embolism in patients with anticoagulation. There were no intracranial haemorrhages or deaths. Bridging or substitution with an anticoagulant with a shorter half-life had no additional benefit.
CONCLUSION: This review showed tolerability of anticoagulants continued throughout electroconvulsive therapy, with most patients reporting no adverse effects. Given limitations including few studies and medical comorbidities influencing patient risk profile, further studies are required to guide practice recommendations and review long-term outcomes.
