Abstract
The authors report their experience with parenteral lorazepam in the acute treatment of 11 patients with EEG-confirmed status epilepticus. Ten adults and one 6-year-old child were injected respectively with 5 mg and 2.5 mg lorazepam. All of these patients exhibited prompt cessation of seizures both electrical and clinical. Some data indicate a longer lasting relief than that provided by an equal dose of diazepam.Entities:
