Status Epilepticus

Status Epilepticus is a serious condition where a person has a prolonged seizure lasting more than five minutes or multiple seizures without fully recovering in between. It requires immediate medical attention because it can cause brain damage, breathing problems, or other health issues. During this time, the brain’s electrical activity is abnormally intense, affecting consciousness and bodily functions. Prompt treatment with medications can stop the seizures and prevent complications. Recognizing it quickly and seeking emergency care is crucial for a positive outcome.
