Clinical overview
Treat ongoing convulsive seizures lasting 5 minutes or more, or recurrent seizures without recovery, as status epilepticus.
Important clinical update
Stabilise the airway and circulation, check bedside glucose, administer an appropriately dosed benzodiazepine promptly, then use a second-line antiseizure medication if seizures persist. Escalate refractory cases to critical care with EEG monitoring. Doses require age, route and local protocol checks.
