Status epilepticus.

Abstract

Status epilepticus represents a true medical emergency that can affect all age groups. Failure to adequately treat this problem can lead to potentially serious systemic and neurologic complications. Management strategies should include stabilization of the cardiovascular and respiratory status of the patient, use of anticonvulsants intravenously and in proper doses, search for a cause, and maintenance therapy.
