Status Epilepticus

What’s the fastest and most effective way to stop status epilepticus? In this lecture from ResusEM7 (see the link below for more lectures), Dr. Derek Isenberg breaks down the critical steps for managing this neurologic emergency, from administering high-dose benzodiazepines to leveraging second-line agents like levetiracetam. Discover how to implement evidence-based strategies, including ketamine as a third-line option and the importance of continuous EEG monitoring to detect non-convulsive status.
