    Emergence agitation is a common complication of electroconvulsive therapy. Standard supportive and pharmacological interventions are usually effective management strategies. We report a case of severe agitation after electroconvulsive therapy that was refractory to the usual treatments but was controlled with dexmedetomidine.
