This definition encompasses a SE that continues or recurs 24 h or more after the onset of anaesthetic therapy and includes those cases in which SE recurs on the reduction or withdrawal of anaesthesia. Treatment is difficult due to the failure of firstand second-line therapy. As no contr...
متن کاملHow Refractory is Super-Refractory Status Epilepticus- A Personal View!

متن کاملFirst‐in‐man allopregnanolone use in super‐refractory status epilepticus
Super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Treatment of SRSE is complicated by progressive cortical hyperexcitability believed to result in part from synaptic GABA receptor internalization and desensitization. Allopregnanolone, a neurosteroid that positively modulates synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors, has been proposed as a novel treatm...
