PY - 2017 T2 - Pharmacotherapy Quick Guide AB - Status epilepticus (SE) is any seizure lasting more than 30 minutes, whether or not consciousness is impaired or recurrent seizures without an intervening period of consciousness. SE is a medical emergency, and aggressive treatment of seizures that last 5 minutes or more is strongly recommended. Seizure duration of greater than 30 minutes is associated with increasing risk of long-term consequences. Table 57–1 shows the classification of SE. This chapter focuses on generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE), the most common and severe form.The four stages of GCSE are (1) impending, (2) established, (3) refractory, and (4) superrefractory.
