Early management of adults with an uncomplicated first generalised seizure.

M J G Dunn1, D P Breen, R J Davenport, A J Gray.   

Abstract

A literature review of first seizures in adults was performed and a management algorithm was constructed. This review highlights the importance of a thorough history and examination, routine biochemistry and haematology, an electrocardiogram, selected neuroimaging, discharge planning with driving and lifestyle advice, and follow-up in a specialist clinic.
