Abstract

Generalized convulsive status epilepticus is a medical emergency. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of status epilepticus and the pharmacology of the medications used to treat it allow one to devise a rational protocol for management. Anticipation of medical complications facilitates intervention when required. Prognosis depends largely on the underlying causes.
