ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEWKetogenic diet therapy can be utilized as an adjuvant treatment of super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE). However, the drug and metabolic interactions with concomitant treatments present a challenge for clinicians. In this review we focus on the practical considerations of implementing ketogenic dietary therapy in the acute setting, including the dietary composition, potential drug-diet interactions, and monitoring during ketogenic treatment.RECENT FINDINGSThis report describes the ketogenic diet therapy protocol implemented for the treatment of SRSE and a review of the current evidence to support clinical practice.SUMMARYThe control of SRSE is critical in reducing morbidity and mortality. There is emerging evidence that ketogenic diet may be a safe and effective treatment option for these patients.

Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is associated with a significant risk of death or neurological morbidity. The ketogenic diet (KD) is a dietary therapy that succeeds in controlling seizures in otherwise RSE in children and adult patients. Inflammatory etiologies might be a particular target, but KD has reported efficacy in other etiologies. KD is well tolerated, and the effect is seen within days. Randomized and controlled studies are lacking in this area, and studies are needed to prove the efficacy of KD in RSE and to identify specific indications. This would help to increase its use and to implement it in intensive care units to resolve severe epileptic conditions quickly.
