Management of Status Epilepticus: Donald Phillips, MD & Nikesh Ardeshna, MD

Status epilepticus can be broken down into convulsive status epilepticus and nonconvulsive status epilepticus. Both involve repeated or prolonged seizures, and both can be medical emergencies. Appropriate recognition and management is critical. Dr. Ardeshna and Dr. Phillips review convulsive and nonconvulsive status epilepticus from both an adult and pediatric perspective. The discussion covers the physiological mechanisms and consequences of status epilepticus, the risks involved, how to recognize it, rescue medications and their use in the community setting, and management in the EMS and hospital setting.
