Abstract
Children frequently experience status epilepticus (SE), a neurologic emergency. Based on current findings in the medical literature, this systematic review aimed to review the published literature of the updates in epidemiology of Status epilepticus in pediatric patients in Saudi Arabia. Because they are reliable sources, PubMed and EBSCO Information Services will be used as the search databases for the publications used in the study. Status epilepticus (SE), seizures, mental health issues, and GABA receptor were among the topics that should have been covered in the project, so those papers were chosen based on their applicability. A total of 105 studies were found after searching the aforementioned databases, which were then used for title screening. 32 of them were excluded after 63 of them were included for abstract screening. The full texts of the remaining 31 publications were examined. Seven studies were enrolled for final data extraction, which includes 23 papers that were excluded as a result of the full-text revision. SE is a complex neurological condition that is primarily seen in children and older individuals, two separate age groups. As the second most prevalent neurological disorder to result in death, it has a high mortality and morbidity rate. Concerning the cause of SE an electrolyte imbalance and febrile seizures were the two most frequent causes of convulsive status epilepticus, respectively. The diagnosis is based mainly on ECG, where children who have SE show abnormalities in their imaging. Management of the condition mainly using antiseizure medications such as Midazolam, lorazepam, and diazepam with almost similar efficacy.
