Chest radigraph t evaluate pssibility f aspiratin. Other investigatins depend n the clinical circumstances and may include brain imaging, lumbar puncture. Mnitring Regular neurlgical bservatins and measurements f pulse, bld pressure, temperature. ECG, bichemistry, bld gases, cltting, bld cunt, drug levels. Patients require the full range f ITU facilities and care shuld be shared between anaesthetist and neurlgist. EEG mnitring is necessary fr refractry status. Cnsider the pssibility f nn-epileptic status. In refractry status epilepticus, the primary endpint is suppressin f epileptic activity n the EEG, with a secndary endpint f burst-suppressin pattern (i.e. shrt intervals f up t 1 secnd between bursts f backgrund rhythm). 1
2 1.1.1 Emergency antiepilepsy drug treatment fr cnvulsive status epilepticus Premnitry stage (pre-hspital) Diazepam mg given rectally, repeated nce 15 minutes later if status cntinues t threaten, r midazlam 10 mg given buccally If seizures cntinue, treat as belw Early status Lrazepam (i.v.) 0.1 mg/kg (usually a 4 mg blus, repeated nce after minutes; rate nt critical) Give usual AED medicatin if already n treatment Fr sustained cntrl r if seizures cntinue, treat as belw. Established status Phenytin infusin at a dse f mg/kg at a rate f 50 mg/minute r fsphenytin infusin at a dse f mg phenytin equivalents (PE)/kg at a rate f mg PE/minute and/r Phenbarbitne blus f mg/kg at a rate f 100 mg/minute Refractry status* General anaesthesia, with ne f: prpfl (1-2mg/kg blus, then 2-10mg/kg/hur) titrated t effect. midazlam ( mg/kg blus, then mg/kg/hur) titrated t effect. thipentne (3-5mg/kg blus, then 3-5mg/kg/hur) titrated t effect; after 2-3 days infusin rate needs reductin as fat stres are saturated. Anaesthetic cntinued fr hurs after the last clinical r electrgraphic seizure, then dse tapered *In the abve scheme, the refractry stage (general anaesthesia) is reached 60/90 minutes after the initial therapy. This scheme is suitable fr usual clinical hspital settings. In sme situatins, general anaesthesia shuld be initiated earlier and, ccasinally, shuld be delayed. Experience with lng-term administratin (hurs r days) f the newer anaesthetic drugs is very limited. The mdern anaesthetics have, hwever, imprtant pharmackinetic advantages ver the mre traditinal barbiturates. Lng term antiepilepsy drug therapy Lng-term, maintenance, antiepilepsy therapy must be given in parallel with emergency treatment. The chice f drug depends n previus therapy, the type f epilepsy, and the clinical setting. Any pre-existing AED therapy shuld be cntinued at full dse, and any recent reductins reversed. 2
3 If phenytin r phenbarbitne has been used in emergency treatment, maintenance dses can be cntinued rally r intravenusly guided by serum level mnitring. Other maintenance AEDs can be started als, with ral lading dses. Care needs t be taken with nasgastric feeds, which can interfere with the absrptin f sme AEDs. Once the patient has been free f seizures fr hurs and prvided that there are adequate plasma levels f cncmitant antiepilepsy medicatin, then the anaesthetic shuld be slwly tapered. 1.2 Guidelines fr treating status epilepticus in children Treating cnvulsive status epilepticus In 2000, a cnsensus guideline was prduced by the Status Epilepticus Wrking Party f the British Paediatric Neurlgy Assciatin 1. This was based n a systematic review f paediatric status epilepticus evidence, which identified nly tw randmised cntrlled trials. The guideline was therefre based n bth evidence (paediatric and adult where apprpriate) and clinical experience. The guideline is primarily designed fr the A&E department r the hspital paediatric ward. The investigatin f the cause f status epilepticus is nt addressed. Generalised cnvulsive (tnic-clnic) status epilepticus is defined as a generalised cnvulsin lasting 30 minutes r lnger, r repeated tnic-clnic cnvulsins ccurring ver a 30 minutes perid withut recvery f cnsciusness between each cnvulsin. Hwever, the guideline stated that fr practical purpses, the apprach t the child wh presents with a tnic-clnic cnvulsin lasting mre than 5 minutes shuld be the same as the child wh is in established status t stp the seizure and t prevent the develpment f status epilepticus. 1 The cnsensus prtcl can be seen in Figure 1. 3

5 1.3 Nn-cnvulsive status epilepticus in adults and children Suggested by GDG This is less cmmn than tnic-clnic status epilepticus. Treatment fr nncnvulsive status epilepticus is less urgent than fr cnvulsive status epilepticus.
