This practical volume will serve as a useful guide to physicians who are unfamiliar with recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. The various types of attacks, associated electroencephalographic changes, presumptive causes and most effective forms of treatment are presented in the order of their occurrence with increasing age. The authors discuss the etiology and differential diagnosis of several conditions resembling epilepsy. Principles of antiepileptic medication are considered with brief summaries of various drugs currently used in therapy. The management of status epilepticus and comments on adjunctive treatment and counseling are included.

Status epilepticus is a medical emergency that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus is frequently underdiagnosed and therefore undertreated, which can lead to permanent neuronal damage resulting in disability or death. Despite the frequent occurrence and morbidity associated with status epilepticus, this topic has received little attention within the literature. A systematic approach to treatment should start with management of airway, breathing, and circulation, followed by administration of benzodiazepines and intravenous antiepileptic drugs, and rapid escalation of therapy to prevent morbidity and mortality. Armed with the information in this article, nurses will have a higher-level understanding of what to do when encountering a patient in status epilepticus.
