Practice-Changing Research on Levetiracetam Administration in Neurologic Emergencies

Trial of the Week: Levetiracetam Rapid IV Push

Special Guest: Olivia Morgan, PharmD, BCCCP, BCGP

I’m joined by Olivia Morgan to discuss her first author 2020 Neurocritical Care article entitled “Safety and Tolerability of Rapid Administration Undiluted Levetiracetam.”

We review previous administration techniques and discussing how this study came to be before highlighting all the findings from this Trial of the Week. Then we discuss how the protocol has changed since this study, administering other ASM via rapid IV push, and much, much more.
