Early intervention improves treatment response. Use of consensus guidelines is highly recommended to decrease drug side effects and reduce intensive care requirements. Benzodiazepines remain the mainstay of first-line treatment. Choice of drugs for second-line treatment is expanding and some important studies are currently underway to determine which of these agents has the best safety and effectiveness profile in children.L6098675432016-04-19 | DOI: | 10.1111/jpc.12979 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L609867543&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jpc.12979 | | Keywords: | brain disease;computer assisted tomography;diagnostic imaging;electroencephalography;emergency ward;epileptic state;human;laboratory test;paraldehyde;priority journal;review;seizure;benzodiazepine derivativeetiracetam;nuclear magnetic resonance imaging;phenobarbital;phenytoin;valproic acid | Type: | Article |
