Suppression of catatonia-like signs by lorazepam in nonconvulsive status epilepticus without seizure terminationConrad M Swartz
Department of Psychiatry, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Springfield, IL 62794 9642, USA

Psychiatry Res 97:229-35. 2000..In addition to EEG measurements, peak HR is a candidate to measure ECT seizure quality and provide feedback for stimulus dose regulation...
Adverse outcome with delay in identification of catatonia in elderly patientsC Swartz
Department of Psychiatry, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Springfield, USA
Am J Geriatr Psychiatry 9:78-80. 2001..These outcomes suggest that geriatric patients with unrecognized catatonia are at high risk for major adverse events...
