Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
As a result, it is becoming a clinical problem which need to be settled urgently. Previous clinical study showed that subanesthetic dose of ketamine could play a role in antidepressant effects with safety and minimal positive psychotic symptoms.The investigators also found that subanesthetic dose of ketamine combined with other anesthetics could improve cognitive function in depressive rats receiving electroconvulsive shock (a model for analogy with ECT). Few clinical researches concerned the effects of subanesthetic dose of ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia on cognitive function in patients after ECT, therefore the investigators conduct this randomized controlled double-blind trial. In this study, cognitive function will be rated by Mini-Mental State examination score.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
PK group (ketamine and propofol)
propofol 1.5 mg/kg and ketamine 0.3 mg/kg will be administered to participants separately by intravenous infusion.When patients become unconscious, succinylcholine 1 mg/kg (a muscle relaxant) will be administered intravenously. After 1 minute of succinylcholine infused, ECT will be performed with bitemporal electrode placement using a stimulus dose of 1.0-millisecond pulse width, 60-Hz frequency, 6.0-second stimulus duration, and 0.8-A maximal stimulus intensity.
ketamine and propofol
propofol 1.5 mg/kg and ketamine 0.3 mg/kg will be administered to participants separately by intravenous infusion.
P group (propofol group)
propofol 1.5 mg/kg and normal saline \[weight(kg)×0.3÷10\]ml will be administered to participants separately by intravenous infusion.When patients become unconscious, succinylcholine 1 mg/kg (a muscle relaxant) will be administered intravenously. After 1 minute of succinylcholine infused, ECT will be performed with bitemporal electrode placement using a stimulus dose of 1.0-millisecond pulse width, 60-Hz frequency, 6.0-second stimulus duration, and 0.8-A maximal stimulus intensity.
propofol and normal saline
propofol 1.5 mg/kg and normal saline \[weight(kg)×0.3÷10\]ml will be administered to participants separately by intravenous infusion.
