Refractory status epilepticus: Understanding

Refractory status epilepticus: Overview

Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a life-threatening neurological emergency characterized by the failure of seizures to respond to initial treatment with benzodiazepines and one antiepileptic medication (AED). It is a severe form of status epilepticus (SE), which is a prolonged seizure activity that can occur in patients with previous epilepsy or in acute disorders of the central nervous system. The etiology of RSE is diverse and includes common causes such as low AED levels in patients with epilepsy, toxic metabolic encephalopathy, stroke, hypoxic ischemic injury, and refractory epilepsy. Less common causes, such as inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, inborn errors of metabolism, and brain tumors, can also contribute to the development of RSE.

Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is characterized by seizures that fail to respond to initial treatment with benzodiazepines and one antiepileptic medication (AED). The signs and symptoms of RSE can vary depending on the type of seizure activity involved. Convulsive RSE typically presents with prolonged convulsions, such as jerking motions, grunting sounds, drooling, and rapid eye movements. Nonconvulsive RSE, on the other hand, may manifest as altered mental status, confusion, and unusual behaviors, such as daydreaming or irrational actions. In both cases, RSE can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not promptly treated. The condition is often associated with prolonged hospital stays and increased risk of functional deterioration at discharge.

Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a severe form of status epilepticus that persists despite initial treatment with benzodiazepines and one antiepileptic medication (AED). The treatment of RSE involves a staged approach, with the primary goal of achieving seizure control. The first stage typically involves the administration of benzodiazepines, followed by second-line AEDs such as phenobarbital or valproate if seizures continue. If seizures persist, general anesthesia with intravenous midazolam, propofol, or other agents is often employed as a third-line therapy. Recent evidence supports the use of ketamine in managing RSE in both adults and children. Additionally, newer AEDs like levetiracetam and lacosamide have shown efficacy in treating RSE. In cases where AEDs are ineffective, immunotherapy, ketogenic diet, and surgical interventions may be considered. The treatment of RSE is challenging due to the lack of high-quality evidence and the need to balance the risk of adverse effects with the need to achieve seizure control.

Refractory status epilepticus Emerging Drugs

Ganaxolone: Marinus Pharmaceuticals

Ganaxolone is a neuroactive steroid that works by modulating both synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors via a unique binding site to potentiate two types of inhibitory signaling. Ganaxolone has pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties well-suited for the treatment of status epilepticus, with rapid and sustained SE cessation observed in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Ganaxolone received orphan drug designation from the US Food and Drug Administration for the potential treatment of status epilepticus. The drug is currently being evaluated under Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of Refractory Status Epilepticus.
