If an EEG cannot be obtained, then empirical treatment for non-CSE may be indicated Children without a previous history of epilepsy or febrile seizures who present with CSE should be referred to either a secondary or tertiary care hospital for further treatment and investigation.

Purpose: To summarize the available evidence related to pediatric refractory status epilepticus (RSE) and super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE), with emphasis on epidemiology, etiologies, therapeutic approaches, and clinical outcomes. Current Status Epilepticus Treatment Guidelines Over the past two decades, a number of guidelines have been released to provide physicians with a consistent, rational approach for the treatment of status epilepticus. After suctioning, the patient should be repositioned on his/her back and a chin lift or jaw thrust should be applied, if necessary, to help open the airway. It replaces the previous statement from 1996, and includes a new treatment algorithm and table of recommended medications, reflecting new evidence and the evolution of clinical practice over the past 15 years.

More recently, the terms ‘early’ or ‘impending’ status epilepticus have been based on a definition of continuous or intermittent seizures lasting longer than 5 min without full recovery of consciousness between seizures.

Evidence Base for Use of Antiepileptic Drugs, 10.2 Second line antiepileptics for refractory status epilepticus: IV Levetiracetam dosage. The document focuses on the acute pharmacological management of CSE, but some issues regarding supportive care, diagnostic approach and treatment of refractory CSE are discussed.The conventional definition of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is continuous generalized tonic-clonic seizure activity with loss of consciousness for longer than 30 min, or two or more discrete seizures without a return to baseline mental status The annual incidence of CSE in children is reported as 10 to 73 episodes/100,000 children and is highest (135/100,000 to 156/100,000 children) in children younger than two years of age The present guideline paper addresses CSE in children and infants older than one month of age. For the purpose of these guidelines, we are focusing on convulsive, non-convulsive and refractory SE. Hypoxia is frequently present. <> If this fails, then anesthetizing doses of barbiturates should be considered.

A normal CT scan does not exclude significantly increased ICP. GL2018_015 Issue date: June-2018 Page 2 of 21 10. A number of Canadian hospital guidelines have incorporated a continuous infusion of midazolam as the first step. Particular local expertise or resource limitations may provide legitimate reasons to adapt or adjust the recommended protocol. $4�%�&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz�� ? endobj endobj The conventional definition of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is continuous generalized tonic-clonic seizure activity with loss of consciousness for longer than 30 min, or two or more discrete seizures without a return to baseline mental status . Status epilepticus can be classiﬁed by semiology, duration and underlying etiology. In animal models, ischemic and excitotoxic neuronal cell loss starts to occur after 30 min of seizure activity.
