Prehospital seizure management protocols need standardized guidelines. A descriptive study from Norway.

Seizures and status epilepticus are common conditions encountered by the emergency medical services (EMS), and mortality and morbidity rates correlate with seizure etiology and duration (1). Early and effective treatment is associated with improved patient outcomes (2). The treatment of status epilepticus must be initiated swiftly, most often by prehospital services, to prevent subsequent brain injury (3).
