Refractory Status Epilepticus

Journal of Palliative Medicine, 2004
A31-YEAR-OLD COMPUTER CONSULTANT was admitted to the hospital for intractable nausea and vomiting. He had presented 18 months earlier with a perforated bowel after a long history of Crohn’s disease. At surgical exploration he was found to have a perforated appendiceal cancer with omental and peritoneal metastases treated with a right hemicolectomy and ...

Refractory status epilepticus

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2012
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) has a high morbidity and mortality. There are currently no definitive data to guide both the optimal choice of therapy and treatment goals. This review focuses on RSE diagnosis and outcome and discusses both commonly used and anecdotal therapies for RSE.The challenges in performing randomized controlled trials (RCTs)

Refractory Status Epilepticus

Neurology, 2022
Background and Objectives Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) bears significant morbidity and mortality. Therapy escalation and in some cases intubation are recommended. Most existing studies are retrospective and focus on intensive care units.

Status epilepticus: Refractory and super-refractory

Neurology India, 2017
Status epilepticus (SE) is an important neurological emergency. It is defined as seizures lasting for 5 minutes or more or recurrent seizures without recovery of consciousness to baseline between the attacks. Refractory SE (RSE) is defined as SE persisting despite sufficient dose of benzodiazepines and at least one antiepileptic drug (AED ...

Second‐line immunotherapy in new onset refractory status epilepticus

Epilepsia
Several pieces of evidence suggest immune dysregulation could trigger the onset and modulate sequelae of new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE), including its subtype with prior fever known as febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES).

Comparative analysis of patients with new onset refractory status epilepticus preceded by fever (febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome) versus without prior fever: An interim analysis

Epilepsia
Febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a subset of new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) that involves a febrile infection prior to the onset of the refractory status epilepticus.

Refractory status epilepticus

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2005
Although conventional anticonvulsant agents can terminate status epilepticus in most cases, a substantial minority of patients develops medically refractory status and requires more aggressive care. This review explores the options available.Increasing numbers of previously unexpected etiologies for refractory status epilepticus continue to be reported.

Refractory status epilepticus

Neurology India, 2006
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a common problem in intensive care units and emergency departments. The important risk factor predisposing patients with SE to RSE is delay in receiving treatment. Self-sustaining SE is associated with progressive, time-dependent development of pharmacoresistance.
