Résumé

Describe basic science, animal models and clinical data related to timing of treatment in status epilepticus (SE). We summarized the results of 15 studies that reported time to treatment in SE, and reviewed basic and clinical literature. SE is a life-threatening and time-sensitive emergency that requires immediate treatment. Current guidelines recommend escalation of anti-seizure medications (ASM) within specified time frames. Prolonged seizures may lead to changes in the composition and location of gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABA Morbidity and mortality may be avoided with rapid, effective treatment of SE. Treatment application and escalation remains delayed especially in outpatient settings, potentially leading to suboptimal outcomes. Implementation techniques and quality improvement methodologies may provide avenues for improving outcomes in SE.
