A 10-month-old boy was admitted to the emergency with complaints of seizure 3 hours before admission and a worsening fever since the previous day. Seizures began with staring and blinking rapidly, head-scratching, mouth twitching, the face turning to the right, and drooling. The seizure was focal on the right-hand stiffness, then immediately turned into a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The patient was first diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 1 month old. The patient repeatedly experienced respiratory infections due to his laryngomalacia. In the emergency department, the patient was diagnosed with convulsive status epilepticus
Results
b) Diazepam and Lorazepam Intravenous
Intravenous lorazepam exhibited similar effectiveness in seizure cessation compared to diazepam. Both drugs showed no substantial difference in the time required to stop seizures or the need for additional doses or adjunctive medicines to attain such cessation. Lorazepam and diazepam administered intravenously have identical effectiveness to stop a seizure in children with any acute tonic-clonic convulsion of any duration.
