Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurologic emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Delays in SE treatment are common in clinical practice and can be associated with poorer outcomes. Our goal was to determine whether the implementation of an SE alert protocol improves time to administration of a second-line antiseizure medication (ASM) in hospitalized adults.

Status epilepticus alert reduces time to administration of second-line antiseizure medications.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency that can occur in patients with or without epilepsy. Rapid treatment is paramount to mitigate risks of neuronal injury, morbidity/mortality, and healthcare-cost burdens associated with SE. Fosphenytoin is the prodrug of phenytoin designed to enable faster administration and improved tolerability as compared to intravenous (IV) phenytoin in the treatment of SE.
