As the landiolol dose of 0.2 mg x kg ( -1 ) caused shorter seizure duration , and because the hemodynamic effects after ECT of the 0.1 mg x kg ( -1 ) and 0.2 mg x kg ( -1 ) doses were similar , it was concluded that a 0.1 mg x kg ( -1 ) landiolol bolus was the appropriate dose pretreatment before ECT .
