Abstract

• Status epilepticus is a medical emergency, and early aggressive treatment is more likely to be successful in terminating the episode
• Morbidity and mortality increase with increasing seizure duration in SE
• Guidelines for the treatment of SE should be available for all personnel involved with the care of children, from pre-hospital care to intensive care
