Paper Discussion: Status Epilepticus Management

Status epilepticus, a critical topic in emergency medicine, was discussed in a paper focusing on induction agents for refractory cases. Airway management became a key consideration in such scenarios, especially in patients with compromised gas exchange or refractory status. The study highlighted a lack of guidance on the appropriate induction agent for rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in status epilepticus. Two groups were compared, those intubated with anti-seizure agents and those with Atomidate. The research aimed to investigate Atomidate's effect on seizure cessation and refractory status.
