AbstractSeizure is one of the most common complaints encountered in the prehospital setting. In this review the authors discuss the prehospital management of seizures and review the evidence for specific treatment approaches. Specific attention is devoted to prehospital care of the pediatric seizure patient. Topics of interest to Emergency Medical Services directors such as patient refusal, resource allocation, and dispatch priority are also addressed.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
