Neuraxpharm promotional satellite symposium:
Optimizing Rescue Medication: Improving Outcomes for Adults with Prolonged Seizures
Overview:
This session will examine key challenges in using rescue medication for emergency seizures in adults, focusing on the gap between recommended early administration and inconsistent clinical terms. Experts will discuss the clinical signs that guide timely treatment, how current rescue options compare with an ideal medication, and the usefulness of tools like Seizure Action Plans. They will also highlight the importance of international collaboration to create clearer and more consistent protocols.
Objectives:
- Identify key clinical signs and time thresholds that support timely and appropriate administration of rescue medication during emergency seizures.
- Compare currently available adult rescue medications with the attributes considered essential for an ideal rescue therapy.
- Recognize gaps in the use of Seizure Action Plans (SAP) in adult care and have some indications on how an effective SAP should look like.
- Understand the importance of international collaboration in creating and disseminating standardized, practical rescue medication protocols for global clinical practice.
