About this study

Official title: Refractory Status Epilepticus Treatment (RESET): Quality and Efficacy of Coma Induction

This study is to investigate the effects of different treatment characteristics regarding the use of intravenous anesthetic drugs (IVADs) as a rescue treatment for refractory Status epilepticus (RSE) on course and outcome. A retrospective data extraction from the digital medical records, the electroencephalographic and microbiologic database of all consecutive adult patients with Status epilepticus (SE) admitted to the University Hospital Basel is undertaken.

  • Data collectionOther

    collection of patient data

    Data collection (demographics, prehospital management, duration of ICU and hospital stay, destination at discharge, date(s) of seizure(s), electroencephalographic (EEG) data, seizure history and etiology, number and duration of SE episodes, medication, types of SE according to the current guidelines from the International League of Epilepsy (ILAE), neuroimaging features, comorbidities, laboratory parameters, complications during and after SE , laboratory testing, vital signs, fluid balance) will be performed from the digital medical records, the electroencephalographic and microbiologic database of patients

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. number of in- hospital death
