title: Anti-epileptic medications in children who lack oral/parenteral access.
abstract: The treatment of children who have seizure disorders is complicated when the usual oral route of drug administration is absent during the peri-operative period or because of illness. Acute, new prolonged seizures present similar difficulties when ready parenteral access is not possible. Several simple solutions are presented for these common problems.
