PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review discusses the management of status epilepticus in
children, including both anticonvulsant medications and overall management
approaches. RECENT FINDINGS: Rapid management of status epilepticus is associated
with a greater likelihood of seizure termination and better outcomes, yet data
indicate that there are often management delays. This review discusses an overall
management approach aiming to simultaneously identify and manage underlying
precipitant causes, administer anticonvulsants in rapid succession until seizures
have terminated, and identify and manage systemic complications. An example
management pathway is provided. SUMMARY: Status epilepticus is a common
neurologic emergency in children and requires rapid intervention. Having a
predetermined status epilepticus management pathway can expedite management.
