Whereas anesthesia for ECT had been performed by a single anesthesiologist in the past, the donning and doffing of PPE in addition to the necessity of ensuring complete mask fit if positive pressure ventilation is used require 2 anesthesia providers to be available at all times.	./cache/cord-011649-3dlsy8fl.txt	./txt/cord-011649-3dlsy8fl.txt
