SIR-The David Lewis Centre in Cheshire, UK is a residential centre for adults and children with severe epilepsies. Many of the children have frequent and prolonged convulsive and non-convulsive seizures. Over the years, a number of treatments have evolved which have been useful but which have not been widely used elsewhere, e.g. the use of chloral hydrate as rescue medication, the use of buccal diazepam for prolonged seizures, and the 'benzodiazepine switch'.
