Seizures may also occur in flurries or clusters with return to baseline consciousness between seizures.
The operational definition of SE proposed by Lowenstein, Bleck, and Macdonald is a continuous, generalized, convulsive seizure lasting greater than five minutes (in an adult or child older than five years), or two or more seizures during which the patient does not return to baseline consciousness [ 7].
Status epilepticus (SE) has been variably defined as a continuous, generalized seizure lasting greater than 5 or 30 minutes, or two or more seizures during which the patient does not return to baseline level of consciousness, again within 5 or 30 minutes [ 5, 6].
They fused with what they mocked and, in the process, turned this modern consciousness into the new baseline, the new classicism, the new universal.
RSE was defined as ongoing or recurrent seizures without recovery of consciousness or return to baseline for at least 30 minutes, and no response to first- and second-line anti-epileptic drugs (AED) [ 7].
All patients included in our analysis had key prognostic factors available describing age, level of consciousness on presentation, imaging findings, and baseline INR, allowing us to adjust for these in our multivariate models.
100 patients with mTBI (35 men) who were older than 20 years, with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13 15 and loss of consciousness for <30 min, completed the baseline and 6-week follow-up assessments.
To effectively study this problem we have excluded patients previously treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs, critically sick patients as assessed by level of consciousness and concomitant illnesses, and patients with baseline liver function test (LFT) values above the normal range.
During these episodes her pCO2 had dropped to 20 mm Hg (from a baseline of 34 mm Hg), leading to changes in consciousness and abnormal movements.
No patient exhibited alteration of consciousness at 30 60 min after dose administration compared with baseline, although three patients (7.5 %) complained of sedation and one of nausea.
We found that 47 patients reported their first episode of coma or seizure during adolescence (ages 13 19) and 43 patients reported having lost consciousness between one and five times before their DCCT baseline evaluation.
