Treatment of Refractory Status Epilepticus With Inhalational Anesthetic Agents Isoflurane and Desflurane

Abstract

Isoflurane and desflurane adequately suppressed RSE in all cases. Complications were common, but mortality and long-term morbidity were related to the underlying disease and duration of RSE. Prolonged use of isoflurane and desflurane is well tolerated.
