Data is taken from this pathway's reviewed node text. Work through the pathway step by step.

Step 1 / 2 · Recognize & initial stabilization (0–5 min)

Does it meet SE criteria and is initial stabilization done?

💡 Convulsive SE = lasting ≥5 min, or consciousness not recovered between two seizures. Initial stabilization: ABC, oxygen, monitoring, IV access, check glucose (low → 50% dextrose + thiamine), check electrolytes/calcium/magnesium/toxicology/antiseizure-drug levels, find the trigger.
