Combined Ketamine and Midazolam Versus Midazolam Alone for Initial Treatment of Pediatric Generalized Convulsive Status Epilepticus (Ket-Mid Study): A Randomized Controlled Trial - PubMed Ketamine-midazolam combination may be more effective than midazolam alone for the initial treatment of pediatric GCSE, but this should be confirmed in future research.

Seize the opportunity! #SGEMPeds returns this week with the Ket-Mid Study with guest skeptic, Dr. Jim Chamberlain. Should ketamine be part of the first-line treatment for pediatric seizures? buff.ly/tM4Q7Sz @thesgem.bsky.social @pedneurojournal.bsky.social @childneurosoc.bsky.social #FOAMed #PedSky

Sleep Disturbance Phenotype Trajectories and Associated Multimorbidity in Children With New-Onset Seizures Over 36 Months Children with epilepsy exhibit heterogeneity and variability in comorbidities including sleep disturbance, cognitive dysfunction, and behavioral impairments. This heterogeneity raises the question of ...

🧠💤 Kids with epilepsy show 3 persistent sleep phenotypes:
✅ Typical
⚠️ Moderately Disrupted
🚨 Severely Disrupted

More sleep disruption = more cognitive & behavioral challenges over 3 years. Early action matters!
