Abstract

The review defines status epilepticus and discusses treatment options for convulsive and nonconvulsive status epilepticus. The drug of choice in Norway is diazepam intravenously (0.25 mg/kg), followed by phosphenytoin or sodium valproate intravenously and barbiturate narcosis. Other treatment options are discussed. Underlying causes must be addressed for therapeutic intervention. Given early treatment, the prognosis is generally good.
