lorazepam and Status Epilepticus

lorazepam has been researched along with Status Epilepticus in 153 studies

Lorazepam: A benzodiazepine used as an anti-anxiety agent with few side effects. It also has hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and considerable sedative properties and has been proposed as a preanesthetic agent.

Status Epilepticus: A prolonged seizure or seizures repeated frequently enough to prevent recovery between episodes occurring over a period of 20-30 minutes. The most common subtype is generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus, a potentially fatal condition associated with neuronal injury and respiratory and metabolic dysfunction. Nonconvulsive forms include petit mal status and complex partial status, which may manifest as behavioral disturbances. Simple partial status epilepticus consists of persistent motor, sensory, or autonomic seizures that do not impair cognition (see also EPILEPSIA PARTIALIS CONTINUA). Subclinical status epilepticus generally refers to seizures occurring in an unresponsive or comatose individual in the absence of overt signs of seizure activity.

Trial Outcomes

Length of Hospital Stay in Days

Continuous acute care inpatient hospital days from day of admission until discharge (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: participants were followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 6 days

Interventiondays (Mean)
IM Midazolam6.7
IV Lorazepam5.5

Length of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Stay in Days

Continuous days of initial ICU stay from time of admission (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: participants were followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 6 days

Interventiondays (Mean)
IM Midazolam5.7
IV Lorazepam4.1

Number of Subjects Admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

Hospital and ICU admission from the ED, and length of stay, is abstracted from the hospital admission record. ICU admission is recorded as occurring only if the ICU is the initial inpatient unit for the patient. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: at time of disposition on day of enrollment

Interventionparticipants (Number)
IM Midazolam128
IV Lorazepam161

Number of Subjects Hospitalized

Hospital and ICU admission from the ED, and length of stay, is abstracted from the hospital admission record. ICU admission is recorded as occurring only if the ICU is the initial inpatient unit for the patient. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: at ED disposition on day of enrollment

Interventionparticipants (Number)
IM Midazolam258
IV Lorazepam292

Number of Subjects With Endotracheal Intubation Within 30 Min After ED Arrival

Endotracheal intubation performed or attempted by EMS or within 30 minutes after ED arrival is abstracted from the ED record physician and nursing records. Endotracheal intubation includes placement of a definitive tracheal airway (oro-, naso-, cricothyroidotomy, or tracheostomy) for support of respirations or protection of airway. Non-definitive and/or non-tracheal airways (oral or nasal airways, laryngeal mask airways, or esophageal obturator airways) are not included if the patient is not subsequently intubated unless specifically deemed to have been used in lieu of tracheal intubation. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: anytime before 30 minutes after ED arrival

Interventionparticipants (Number)
IM Midazolam63
IV Lorazepam64

Number of Subjects With Hypotension

Acute hypotension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of < 90 mmHg sustained for greater than 5 minutes and for which the patient was treated with a continuous IV infusion of a vasopressor. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: participants were followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 6 days

Interventionparticipants (Number)
IM Midazolam12
IV Lorazepam13

Number of Subjects With IM Injection-site Complications

IM injection site complications are defined as any symptoms or signs of injury or reaction at the site of the study IM injection requiring treatment. This includes extensive hematoma requiring treatment (decompression, pressure dressings, or discontinuation of anticoagulant or antithrombotic medications). Treatment does not include imaging without other interventions. This definition also includes wound infection requiring antibiotic therapy, retained foreign bodies requiring exploration and removal, or other similar wound problems. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: participants were followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 6 days

Interventionparticipants (Number)
IM Midazolam4
IV Lorazepam2

Number of Subjects With IV Injection-site Complications

IV insertion site complications are defined as any symptoms or signs of injury or reaction at the site of the study IV placed by paramedics and used for study medication. This includes thrombosis, phlebitis, or skin infection requiring specific treatment including compresses, antibiotics, or wound care. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: participants were followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 6 days

Interventionparticipants (Number)
IM Midazolam0
IV Lorazepam3

Number of Subjects With Recurrent Seizure Within 12 Hours After ED Arrival

Acute seizure recurrence is defined as any further convulsive or electrographic seizures occurring in the first 12 hours of hospitalization, if they require additional antiepileptic medications, in subjects that had been determined not to be having seizures on ED arrival. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: within 12 hours after ED arrival

Interventionparticipants (Number)
IM Midazolam51
IV Lorazepam47

Number of Subjects With Termination of Seizures at ED Arrival With no Rescue Therapy Given

The primary outcome was termination of seizures before arrival in the emergency department (ED) without the need for the paramedics to provide rescue therapy. Subjects did not reach the primary outcome if they were having seizures on arrival in the emergency department or if they received rescue medication before arrival. Termination of seizures on arrival was determined according to the clinical judgment of the attending emergency physician and was based on examination of the subjects, their clinical course, and results of any routine diagnostic testing. (NCT00809146)
Timeframe: Duration of prehospital care, outcome is determined upon arrival at the ED on the day of enrollment (average 20 minutes).

Number of Participants With Clinical Cessation of Status Epilepticus - Adjudicated Outcomes Analysis

Determined by the absence of clinically apparent seizures and improving consciousness at 1 hour without other anticonvulsant medications. The Adjudicated outcomes analysis is different from Outcome measure 1 because a central clinical phenomenology core of four neurologists adjudicated from the medical records the time to seizure cessation, the time in status epilepticus before trial-drug initiation, and the cause of the seizure. For each enrollment, two neurologists from this core group conducted independent initial reviews and then determined a consensus or consulted a third adjudicator, as needed. Adjudicators were unaware of the treatment assignments and made determinations by medical record review. (NCT01960075)
Timeframe: Within 60 minutes after the start of study drug infusion
