Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether levetiracetam is safe and well tolerated by patients while suffering a status epilepticus. Levetiracetam is added to the standard treatment of patients with this disease.
This study aims to address the hypothesis that Lorazepam (an anticonvulsant) is as effective when given via the intranasal or buccal route as the intravenous route in terminating convulsions in children.
The aim of the study is to evaluate, prospectively, prognosis factors associated with convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) in adults hospitalized in intensive care units.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether propofol or barbiturates should be preferred in the treatment of status epilepticus (continuous seizure activity) refractory to 2 standard antiepileptic agents.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate intranasal lorazepam in paediatric status epilepticus. This is a potentially, more effective, safer and cheaper treatment for a common paediatric medical emergency compared to our present first line therapy intramuscular paraldehyde.
The purpose of this study is to gather the data to: 1) determine the best dose, and 2) evaluate its effectiveness and safety in stopping seizures. Part 1 is a pharmacokinetic study (study of how much drug is found in the body after it is given through a vein and how fast the body gets rid of the drug).
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy, onset of clinical anticonvulsant activity, and complications of diazepam and lorazepam given intravenously as prehospital therapy to patients in status epilepticus. II. Determine the effect of prehospital therapy on the incidence of status epilepticus at the subsequent emergency department admission. III. Establish whether prehospital therapy alters hospital management of these patients and ultimately affects patient outcome.
