Author Response: Prehospital Midazolam Use and Outcomes Among Patients With Out-of-Hospital Status Epilepticus

摘要

We thank Dr. Kellinghaus and colleagues for sharing their experience of a large cohort of patients with status epilepticus in Europe. Their finding that patients in the SENSE registry are similarly not receiving the recommended initial benzodiazepine dose highlights the systemic nature of the problem: patients with status epilepticus are being undertreated. We are in the midst of expanding our work to examine status epilepticus treatment across multiple prehospital systems in the United States and reiterate the urgency and importance of better understanding this knowledge-practice gap.
