Dr. Michael Aminoff, guest of the Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists, discussed the Management of Status Epilepticus. The EEG is essential for the recognition of status epilepticus where there are minor or no motor manifestations, and also in clarifying the nature of certain motor and behavioural disturbances that do not relate to seizures. It also is important in evaluating the adequacy of treatment, such as the response to barbiturate or midazolam induced anaesthesia.
