Emergency Management of Status Epilepticus
The chapter delves into the urgent and coordinated management of a patient with status epilepticus, emphasizing the administration of medications like benzos, anti-epileptic drugs, and sedatives. It stresses the importance of securing the airway, managing breathing effectively, and prompt intervention to stop the seizure and prevent complications. The discussion also includes preparing for hypotension, conducting necessary diagnostic tests post-seizure cessation, and considering continuous EEG monitoring to rule out nonconvulsive status epilepticus.
