好色先生 on Status Epilepticus in the ER: A Quality Improvement Project

 Our objectives for this project were (1) to outline an algorithm for management of SE in adults for the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), (2) to administer a classroom style presentation with videos of seizures and a treatment algorithm to educate EM residents on diagnosis and management of SE, and (3) to gauge the effectiveness of the education with pre- and post-educational assessments.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency with a high rate of mortality. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is of utmost importance in management. Emergency Medicine (EM) providers should be confident in treating SE.

27 post-graduate year 1-3 EM residents were enrolled as participants.

Pre-education assessment included 6 knowledge based multiple choice quiz questions on management of SE, and 5-point Likert scale questionnaires on confidence in managing SE. Post-education assessment included 6 knowledge based multiple choice questions assessing the same concepts as pre-education assessment with different vignettes, and 5-point Likert scale questions assessing the effectiveness of the format of this session and the response on expected impact of the participants’ clinical practice.

Two sample t-test was used to compare pre- and post-education quiz answers

There was a significant improvement in results with more correct answers post-education (p < 0.0001). Post-education assessment 5-point Likert scale scores (1- strongly disagree to 5- strongly agree) were 4.58 (confidence in SE management), 4.35 (effectiveness of lecture), 4.65 (impact on clinical practice).
Fast and effective treatment of SE is vital to improve morbidity and mortality in patients with seizures. The results of this study lead to development of laminated pocket-sized SE algorithm cards for the Neurology and EM residents.
