Abstract
Status epilepticus (SE) it is widely recognized as the second most common and life-threatening neurological emergency after stroke, which carries a high mortality and morbidity. The main goal of treatment is to emergently stop clinical and electrographic seizure activity. Most authorities agree on three-line treatment for SE with administration of benzodiazepines followed by longer-acting anti-epileptic agents and finally, if seizures persist, the administration of general anaesthetic agents.
