Management of Seizures in the ICU
摘要
Seizures are common neurological emergencies in the intensive care unit (ICU), requiring immediate recognition and intervention to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. Status epilepticus (SE) is a particularly severe condition defined by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) as a seizure lasting longer than five minutes (t₁), beyond which normal seizure termination mechanisms are unlikely, necessitating prompt treatment. Prolonged seizures beyond 30 minutes (t₂) can lead to long-term neurological consequences, including neuronal injury and death [1, 2].
