Show Notes

Up to one-third of patients with status epilepticus will not respond to benzodiazepines.  Unfortunately, treatment of benzodiazepine-refractory status epilepticus is not well studied.  The longer seizures persist, the worse patients do.  In this podcast, we discuss the results of the recently completed ESETT trial that evaluated three anticonvulsant medications for status epilepticus.
