Treatment of status epilepticus with thiopentone sodium anaesthesia in a child.

K J Goitein, H Mussaffi, E Melamed.   

Abstract

A 4-month-old infant was admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with Pneumococcal meningitis. A few hours after admission he developed intractable convulsions that could not be stopped with phenytoin, phenobarbitone and a continuous drip of diazepam. Thiopentone sodium anaesthesia was induced for 24 h terminating the status epilepticus. The clinical course, correlary EEG findings, treatment protocol and blood levels of the drugs given are described in detail.
