Abstract
Consensus has emerged concerning initial treatment of status epilepticus. For practical purposes treatment should be started after 5Â minutes of continuous seizure activity. Treatment of refractory status was established according to the evidence available but the are not enough randomized trials that compare different therapeutic agents for this instance. Continuous EEG monitoring is needed for better management of status epilepticus in advance stages. The alarming high mortality rate of status epilepticus emphasizes the need of an high suspicion index with rapid recognition and urgent treatment.
