COMPARATIVE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF INTRAMUSCULAR MIDAZOLAM VERSUS INTRAVENOUS LORAZEPAM IN PREHOSPITAL MANAGEMENT OF STATUS EPILEPTICUS: EVIDENCE FROM RAMPART TRIAL
Background: Status Epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening neurological emergency that requires immediate treatment. Intravenous (IV) lorazepam is a standard first-line therapy, but IV access is often delayed in Prehospital settings. Intramuscular (IM) Midazolam offers a potential alternative due to its ease of administration. Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of IM midazolam and IV lorazepam in terminating seizures in patients with status epilepticus in a Prehospital setting.
