Treatment of status epilepticus in children.
In children, seizures associated with status epilepticus (SE) include a number of types that are age-related. These types of seizures are not associated with SE in older patients. Likewise, etiologies of SE in children are also unique to this patient population, in particular those responsible for SE in the neonate. Consequently, therapy must address specific treatment of any possible underlying condition in addition to appropriate interventional and supportive measures.
