Understanding and Treatment of Status Epilepticus

Dear Colleagues,

Status epilepticus is one of the most urgent types of neurological emergencies, which remains difficult and confusing to intensivists. There is a substantial body of literature about the evaluation and treatment of status epilepticus, starting in the prehospital emergency setting. Intensivists are frequently called to intervene and require a concise and practical set of guidelines. Recent efforts to formulate interdisciplinary consensus guidelines have been made. This Special Issue will discuss the prehospital, emergency, and intensive care treatments of status epilepticus, the use of continuous electroencephalography, the evaluation for typical causes of status epilepticus, the treatment of refractory status epilepticus, the potential role of immunotherapy for status epilepticus, the prognosis for refractory status epilepticus, new clinical trials in status epilepticus, and review the guidelines for the treatment of status epilepticus.
