Study Overview
Brief Summary
- Evaluation of pre hospital rescue intervention of seizure management.
- To investigate the type of rescue medication, Efficacy, route of administration, Side effects of this drug, frequency and Indication of its use.
Detailed Description
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.
