    This document discusses the emergency management of seizures. It outlines common causes of seizures including dehydration, oxygen deprivation, stress, metabolic conditions affecting electrolyte levels, and certain medications. It also mentions febrile causes such as infections like malaria and meningitis. The management of seizures involves stabilizing the patient through airway, breathing, and circulation checks. An IV line should be established to collect blood samples for testing electrolyte and glucose levels. A rapid history can help identify the underlying cause while resuscitative measures are performed.

    • Oxygen deprivation eg. anaemia
    • Stress—emotional or physical
    • Metabolic conditions—hypoglycaemia,
    hyperglycaemia, ↓Ca, ↑K, ↓Mg, ↓Na,
    ↑Urea, ↑Creatinine
    • Medications e.g. pentazocine, aminophylline,
    insulin
    Febrile causes: Infections eg. Malaria, Meningitis,
    Tuberculosis, encephalitis

    Classification (ILAE)
    Management
    • Stabilization: A, B, C
    • An IV line should be established, if possible
    blood samples collected for sugar, calcium,
    magnesium, electrolytes, blood cell count
    • If situation permits, rapid screening ofblood
    sugar should be done
    • A quick history taken while resuscitative
    measures are being instituted may reveal the
    cause of the seizure
