Status epilepticus
Status epilepticus (often simply called status) is a medical emergency where the brain will not stop having seizures. In medicine, a person who is having status epilepticus is described as being ""in status.""
Definitions of status epilepticus have changed over time. It used to be that a seizure had to last 20 or 30 minutes to be thought of as status epilepticus. (Most normal seizures last only one to two minutes.)
Today, a person is usually described as being "in status" when:
Status epilepticus is very dangerous. About 10 - 20 % of the people who go into this status die from it.
Status Epilepticus is considered a medical emergency for many reasons:
If people in status get the right treatment quickly, they can survive with little or no brain damage.
Only about one in four people who go into status epilepticus have epilepsy. The other three out of four people who go into status have never had a seizure before. Status epilepticus can happen for many other reasons.
