Status Epilepticus in Adults- A Brief Commentary for a Critical Care Nursing Perspective

Nidhi Shah

Background: Status epilepticus has been defined in the literature as a medical emergency. This kind of medical condition requires rapid diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition to prevent clinical deterioration. Due to lack of visible physical symptoms of nonconvulsive status epilepticus, it has been noted to be underdiagnosed and therefore undertreated, which can cause permanent neuronal damage and thus resulting in disability or death. This topic has received little attention within the literature although there is frequent occurrence and morbidity associated with status epilepticus.
