Summary
Status epilepticus is a medical emergency that necessitates prompt recognition and treatment in order to prevent serious morbidity and mortality. This book chapter will discuss the pathophysiology, epidemiology, etiology, classification, management, and treatment of status epilepticus, refractory status epilepticus, and super-refractory status epilepticus within the adult intensive care unit (ICU) population. The chapter will then delve into continuous electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in the ICU with an emphasis on the indication and duration of EEG monitoring as well as a brief discussion of the ictal-interictal continuum.
