ABSTRACT
AIM:
To evaluate the influence of adherence to treatment guidelines on outcomes in children presenting with status epilepticus (SE) using the Newborn and Paediatric Emergency Transport Service, New South Wales prospective registry.METHODS:
We reviewed the treatment of children with SE, transported by the Newborn And Paediatric Emergency Transport Service to a tertiary paediatric hospital, over 1 year. We evaluated variation in management from the New South Wales clinical practice guideline.RESULTS:
There was excessive administration of benzodiazepines (BZD) and a delay in administration of appropriate second-line treatment of status (median 45 min). There was excessive use of BZD, with five or more doses of BZD associated with significantly higher odds for intubation.CONCLUSION:
There is considerable scope to improve clinician compliance with the SE clinical practice guidelines.Palabras clave
