This chapter covers pertinent issues around the management of children with status epilepticus within and outside of specialist centres. A detailed overview of the work-up of a child in status epilepticus is presented. Additionally, the potential management of patients with refractory status epilepticus and super-refractory status epilepticus is evaluated. Furthermore, the chapter focuses on strategies to aid decision-making related to the practical challenges paediatric intensivists face, such as the suitability of extubating patients at the referring hospital, the decision to transfer patients to specialist centres for ongoing management, the role of neuroimaging, and about use of quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) as a continuous neuromonitoring modality.

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.
