Overview
Generalized convulsive status epilepticus (long-lasting convulsive seizures) is a dangerous but common neurologic emergency; it can cause respiratory depression and permanent brain damage. KESETT is a phase III randomized, double-blind clinical trial to test whether ketamine (1 or 3 mg/Kg) added to standard therapy, levetiracetam (60mg/Kg), is more effective than levetiracetam alone in treating status epilepticus after benzodiazepines have failed.
