[The use of propofol in status epilepticus].
Three cases of status epilepticus not responsive to an aggressive treatment are described. The seizures and EEG activity were rapidly brought under control with a continuous infusion of propofol (3-6 mg/kg/hour), maintained between 21 hours and 7 days. Patient awakening at the end of the infusion period was rapid and without sequelae.
