Why Is My Child Shaking All Over?
Keyword(s):
Seizures are a common reason for pediatric patients to present to the emergency department for evaluation. Differentiating between the different categories of seizures is essential when determining the approach to evaluation and management of these patients. These categories include simple and complex febrile seizures, first time non-febrile seizures, and known epilepsy. There are no universal guidelines so understanding these categories can help the emergency provider obtain appropriate laboratory evaluation, neuroimaging, and possibly electroencephalogram as indicated. Management of pediatric seizures and special considerations are discussed, taking into consideration key history and physical exam findings.
