Innovations in Pediatric Seizure Treatment

This chapter explores a randomized controlled trial on the use of ketamine combined with midazolam versus midazolam alone for treating pediatric generalized convulsive status epilepsy. The discussion addresses the implications of the findings for treatment protocols, the risks of improper medication use, and the challenges posed by rigid hospital policies in critical care. Emphasizing the need for ongoing research and flexible guidelines, the chapter calls for improvements in emergency pediatric care practices.
