Initial Benzodiazepine UseInitial Benzodiazepine Use
• It doesn’t matter which benzodiazepine is used to treat an actively seizing patient.
• In fact, diazepam is probably better, since it is equally efficacious and it lasts a shorter period of time, allowing for a return to a normal mental status sooner

A Phenytoin Use (EtOH, Toxins)A Phenytoin Use (EtOH, Toxins)
• Even in settings where a phenytoin load is normally not clinically indicated (alcohol, toxin-related seizures), if a flurry of seizures or SE occurs, a phenytoin load should be provided

Do you agree that a phenytoin load should be given to alcohol or toxin-related seizure patients with a flurry of seizures or SE, even if a phenytoin is not normally used to treat this problem?
A. YesB. No

Fosphenytoin Use in SEFosphenytoin Use in SE
• When a phenytoin load is to provided to a patient in SE, fosphenytoin should always be used because it can be infused more quickly and with fewer adverse effects.
• It is recognized that the time to achieving a therapeutic free phenytoin level is comparable with either fosphenytoin or phenytoin (tens of minutes).

ED Fosphenytoin UseED Fosphenytoin Use
• There are many non-SE clinical settings in which the pharmacologic properties of fosphenytoin (water soluble, no toxic diluents, extravasations not complicated, IM use possible) justify its use in ED seizure patients despite the higher acquisition cost.

ED IV Valproate UseED IV Valproate Use
• ED IV valproate is underutilized because of a lack of knowledge regarding its indications and clinical use, especially in patients who are taking PO valproate.–Broad indications
– Infusion at 300 mg/min, no infusion AEs
–Load 1 mg/kg, level increases 5 mcg/ml
–Therapeutic level can exceed 125 mcg/ml

• It doesn’t matter what drugs are used in what order in order to treat a seizing SE patients, as long as they are used quickly, in full mg/kg doses, and are ordered in parallel (the next drug is being ordered as one is being infused).

• I know when an EEG is indicated for ED patients that I treat for seizures and SE, and I can get one in those (rare) circumstances when it is indicated in order to rule out SE.
