Status epilepticus is defined as a condition in which the patient has an episode lasting more than 30 minutes, or in which the patient does not regain consciousness during two seizures. Epilepsy is a relatively serious clinical manifestation. If epilepsy is not treated for a long time, it is likely to cause respiratory arrest and coma, which is very dangerous to the patient's life. In the case of status epilepticus, diazepam injection should be administered as soon as possible under the guidance of a doctor, and multifunctional ECG monitoring should be given to the patient to help the patient continue oxygen inhalation, as well as medication to prevent complications, and attention should be paid to the patient's breathing and blood pressure and pupils at all times.
