Status epilepticus

Definitions
Status epilepticus is a type of prolonged seizure resulting either from the failure of the mechanisms responsible for seizure termination or from the initiation of mechanisms which lead to abnormally prolonged seizures (after time point t1). It is a condition that can have long-term consequences (after time point t2), including neuronal death, neuronal injury, and alteration of neuronal networks, depending on the type and duration of seizures. In 2015 the ILAE Task Force on Classification of Status Epilepticus concluded that the evidence to define time points 1 and 2 in humans was incomplete. For tonic-clonic status epilepticus t1 is defined as 5 minutes and t2 as 30 minutes. For focal status epilepticus with impaired consciousness t1 is defined as 10 minutes and t2 over 60 minutes. For absence status epilepticus t1 is defined as 10-15 minutes and t2 is unknown.
