I am sure that many of us here have experienced a situation of status epilepticus, I know that I have quite a few times, to the point that the doctors actually prescribe me a bottle of ativan to be administered to me sublingually if possible. This has made me wonder as I have searched many places about what meds are used for it and why.
Anyways, I have been trying to find some info in regards to these different medications as for some reason AEDs seem to really interest me, especially in the fact that many of them are not known why they work.
What I have really been wondering lately is if there is any kind of list of meds used for Status Epilepticus, why they are used, their effectiveness and other stats on them. I know that Benzodiazepines are usually first line treatment for them, but I wonder with these different meds, such as the different benzos and all the other types of meds, why certain ones are used more often, how they are administered, their effectiveness and how they work.
I would love to find some kind of data, especially scholarly data with graphs and numbers on it along with other details as this is one of the few things that really intrigues me and can really keep my attention for long periods of time. Otherwise I cannot focus for long periods of time on things that require alot of attention as I start to drift off very badly.
If anyone knows of any good links it would be very appreciated.
