recommendations from outpatient neurologist
Generalized convulsive activity >5mins or repeated seizure without full recovery
ABC – O2 early as seizure prevents effective respirations
Frost Line: Lorazepam or Midazolam 0.1mg/kg. Yes it’s a big dose but better to snow them than allow prolonged seizure. Max dose 8mg. Repeat @5min.
Second Line: Levetiracetum 60mg/kg (max 4500mg). Phenobarbital 20mg/kg. Valproic Acid 40mg/kg (max 3000mg)
Probably intubating at this point (15-20mins) Propofol 1.5mg/kg and Ketamine 2mg/kg and Paralytic
Neuroimaging especially if focal seizure
POC Electrolytes and Glucose – 150ml 3% Hypertonic Saline or 2 Amps Bicarbonate
Immediately start Propofol drip (3-5mg/kg/hr) or Midazolam drip
