Abstract
The risk of brain neuron death supersedes that of physical harm due to muscle spasms. In fact, immediate induction of neuromuscular paralysis impedes monitoring of anticonvulsant therapy, which can be empiric but should follow a predetermined, sequential protocol so that seizures can be terminated quickly.
