A Global Practice Assessment from the Emergency Treatment Task Force

Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening neurological emergency with significant variability in clinical management and national guidelines. The use of anesthetics in adult (≥16 years old) refractory SE varies considerably across centers worldwide, both in terms of timing, duration, and drug selection. This survey aims to assess current practices regarding anesthetic administration in SE across different healthcare settings globally, to identify areas where international recommendations or guidelines may be needed.
