Status epilepticus is a medical emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and management. Status epilepticus is the most common paediatric neurological emergency, with significant morbidity and mortality. Management includes prompt administration of appropriately selected anti-seizure medications, identification, and management of any seizure precipitant(s), as well as identification and management of associated systemic complications. Non-adherence to status epilepticus guidelines can affect patient outcomes negatively. This guideline does not apply to the management of infants less than one month with status epilepticus or children with epilepsy and increased seizures from baseline.
