Abstract
Introduction: Status epilepticus represents a significant neurological emergency, with high morbidity and mortality rates. In addition to standard care, the identification of adjuvant strategies is essential to improve the outcome.
Areas covered: The authors conducted a narrative review to provide an update on the value of hypothermia as an antiseizure and neuroprotective treatment in status epilepticus.
Expert opinion: The use of targeted temperature management in the treatment of hypothermia in patients with status epilepticus represents a potentially promising adjuvant strategy, supported by a substantial body of experimental evidence. However, further clinical data demonstrating its efficacy are necessary before it can be recommended for routine use in targeted patient populations, such as those with refractory or super-refractory status epilepticus.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics (ISSN 1473-7175) provides expert reviews on the use of drugs and medicines in clinical neurology and neuropsychiatry. Coverage includes disease management, new medicines and drugs in neurology, therapeutic indications, diagnostics, medical treatment guidelines and neurological diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer''s and Parkinson''s.
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Review format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion - a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points
