Generalised Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE) following Electro- Convulsive Therapy

Lloyd Reeve-Johnson, Alston Unwin and Harry McConnell

This paper considers risk factors that have occurred in other cases and proposes alcohol withdrawal as an additional risk factor for consideration when selecting suitable patients.
