title: The acute management of seizures.
abstract: There are a growing number of treatment options for children with acute seizures and SE. With continued new drug development and reformulation of existing antiepileptic drugs, better treatment protocols will be available. The primary goal continues to be minimizing the morbidity and mortality associated with acute seizures and SE. This is accomplished only if the pediatrician's aim is early seizure recognition and treatment with close monitoring for potential complications.
