Description
Seizures are part of the bread and butter in emergency medicine. Most of the time when these patients arrive in the ED, the seizing has stopped and there isn’t much else for us to do.

In this episode Dr. Rod Fontenette goes over the latest in seizure management when first line benzos don’t work, the appropriate dosing of those meds, and what to do in certain patient populations.
