Status epilepticus is defined as 5 or more minutes of continuous clinical and/or electrographic seizure activity, or recurrent seizure activity without recovering to baseline between seizures. The history and neurological exam are essential to initial detection of SE. Some patients may present with ...

Summary: Purpose: Status epilepticus (SE) is a major medical and a neurologic emergency associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The current definition of SE is continuous seizure activity or intermittent seizure activity without regaining consciousness, lasting ≥30 min. Epilepsy monitoring un...
A seizure is a transient manifestation of signs due to abnormal, excessive activity of neurons in the brain. Seizures always indicate dysfunction in the forebrain (the cerebral cortex). The cerebral cortex is made up of a large number of neurons that communicate with each other via chemical mess...
resolution of Sx with distraction, nonphysiologic spread of Sx, crying, bilateral motor activity with preserved consciousness, lack of post-ictal confusion or lethargy Prognosis Good, if ♀, of higher IQ, independent lifestyle, no prior psychotherapy, normal EEG; poor, if accompanied by seizures,...
These findings are consistent with prior study on this topic. This study, although small in sample size, further adds to the literature showing that the electrographic pattern of status epilepticus may influence the sensitivity of seizure detection using automated seizure detection software such as ...
Keep a current list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs your child takes. Include the amounts, and when, how, and why they are taken. Bring the list or the medicines in their containers to follow-up visits. Carry your child's medicine list with you in case of an emergency....
In addition, status epilepticus (SE), a life-threatening condition in which seizure activity occurs continuously, is often successfully treated only with extreme intervention. Until recently, the general belief in the medical community was that epileptic seizures could not be anticipated. Seizures were...
Status epilepticus requires emergency treatment, usually with Valium (Ativan), Dilantin, or Barbita. An intravenous dextrose (sugar) solution is given to patients whose condition is due to low blood sugar, and a vitamin B1preparation is administered intravenously when status epilepticus results from ...
