Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1. Evaluation of pre hospital rescue intervention of seizure management.
2. To investigate the type of rescue medication, Efficacy, route of administration, Side effects of this drug, frequency and Indication of its use.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An epileptic seizure is a transient occurrence with signs or symptoms due to abnormal excessive and synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.

There are many different types of seizures:

Current classification designates two large categories - partial or generalized. In a partial seizure, one area of the cortex is thought to be activated initially and may show simple symptoms such as a motor or sensory phenomena.

Partial seizures may rapidly secondarily generalize and spread to involve all cortical areas.

Generalized seizures result from diffuse cortical activation at seizure onset . Seizure cluster provides an opportunity to administer prompt treatment.

Delays in the treatment of seizure emergencies are often associated with negative patient outcomes.

Seizure clusters become less responsive to treatment when they continue unabated over time .

In addition to using anti epileptic medications, the treatment of seizures aims at correcting any identifiable causative process. Care is needed to prevent any secondary brain injury, which may include advanced respiratory and cardiovascular support. Monitoring is necessary to detect hypotension and hypoxia and steps taken to correct those conditions when recognized. Common complications may include traumatic injuries such as tongue lacerations or scalp lacerations . Convulsive status epileptic leads to brain damage on the cellular level and may itself be epileptogenic. Transformed or subtle generalized convulsive status epileptic or non convulsive seizures detected by EEG monitoring in critically ill patients may also contribute to brain laceration .

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

(A)Patient with seizure received rescue interventional (B) Patient with seizure didn't receive it

We will do 2 groups :

Group A: Patient with recurrent attack of seizure and with prolonged seizure with prescribed treatment at home, Patients aged from 2 years to 18 years, Received rescue intervention.

Group B: Patient with recurrent attack of seizure and with prolonged seizure without prescribed treatment at home, Patients aged from 2 years to 18 years, didn't Received rescue intervention.

No interventions assigned to this group
