A Conversation with Rep. Yadira Caraveo, MD

 Seizures are part of the bread and butter in emergency medicine. Most of the time when these patients arrive in the ED, the seizing has stopped and there isn’t much else for us to do. But in the cases where they seizures don’t stop or when the patient has multiple seizures, do you know what meds to give and how much? How about second line? Third? Perhaps, even fourth line? In this episode Dr. Rod Fontenette goes over the latest in seizure management when ﬁrst line benzos don’t work, the appropriate dosing of those meds, and what to do in certain patient populations.
