[Analysis of the possibilities of prevention of status epilepticus as well as its complications in children].
Sixty-five cases of status epilepticus in 51 children were analysed. In 8 cases permanent damage to the CNS resulted and 4 children died. The analysis indicates that the factors influencing the frequency of status epilepticus and CNS damage include: young age of children, infections and their type, withdrawal of antiepileptic medication and the time of beginning treatment of status epilepticus as well as the type of drugs used. In prevention of repeated seizures the authors suggest early administration of anticonvulsants with dehydrating drugs, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory agents. The authors suggest also increasing of the dosage of anticonvulsants in cases of enen common infections beginning in epileptic children.
