Pediatric Neurology and PharmacyDate of approval:
cardinalglennon.com
Less Than 1 Month of Age:
- Repeat IV Phenobarbital 20 mg/kg
Time 20 minutes: Monitor airway, consider intubation if impending airway compromise (see “intubated
child” if intubated)
Page Neurology
Greater Than 1 Month of Age: - Repeat IV Fosphenytoin 10 mg/kg over 5
min (or give 20mg/kg if using for the first
time)
And
- Consider intubation at this time
Time 30 minutes: Strongly consider intubation if starting a versed drip
Intubation of neonate may be delayed if airway is not compromised
Less Than 1 Month of Age: - Continuous EEG
- If neonate has received a total of
40mg/kg of IV Phenobarbital then chose
from below:
- IV Fosphenytoin 20mg/kg once
Or
Levetiracetam (Keppra)9
60mg/kg once
Greater Than 1 Month of Age: - Rapid sequence intubation
- IV Midazolam infusion:
- Bolus 0.15-0.3 mg/kg q5 min till seizure
cessation (max 2mg/kg)
- Maintenance 0.1 mg/kg/hr
- Titrate rate by 0.1mg/kg q15 minutes
- Continuous EEG
Time 60 minutes: Both neonate and older child; should be intubated by this time
Patient should be on EEG
Obtain anti-epileptic drug levels one hour after loads were given
Follow up on labs collected earlier, treat as indicate
Discuss with neurology if maintenance medication is required, to start 12 hours after the
loading dose
Other considerations: Diagnostic testing:
1. Infection:
- Obtain Blood Cultures/HSV PCR
- Urinalysis
- Lumbar puncture
- Antibiotics including Acyclovir
- Use antipyretics
2. Intracranial process:
- U/S head in neonate (best yield with open fontanelle)
- MRI brain without contrast
- CT head if MRI cannot be obtained
3. Medication Non-compliance
- Follow anti-epileptic drug levels
Less Than 1 Month of Age: - Rapid sequence intubation (use short
acting paralytic)
- IV Midazolam infusion:
- Bolus 0.15-0.3 mg/kg q5 min till
seizure cessation (max 2mg/kg)
- Maintenance 0.1 mg/kg/hr
- Titrate rate by 0.1mg/kg q15 minutes
- Continuous EEG
Consider:
- **Pyridoxine8
100mg slow IV push
(monitors must be in place)
**If partial response to pyridoxine, repeat 100mg IV push till Max of 500mg
Special Considerations: Treatment of Electrolyte Imbalance:
Hypoglycemia:
Less Than 1 Month of Age:
Treat for Glucose < 40 mg/dl
- Give 4 ml/kg of IV D10, plus start
continuous Dextrose IVF infusion
Greater Than 1 Month of Age:
Treat for Glucose < 60 mg/dl
- 5 ml/kg of IV D10W (100 mg/ml)
(0.5g/kg) Or
- 2 ml/kg of IV D25W (250
mg/ml)(0.5g/kg)
For Adults (defined age 16 and up) and History of Alcoholism: give 100mg Thiamine IV 50 ml
prior to administration of glucose
If no IV access and child is greater than 2 years of age, may try Oral Therapy with 10-20 grams
of glucose gel.
Hyponatremia: (all age groups)
Treat for Na < 130: give 3% NaCl 2-4 ml/kg IV x 1; may repeat x 1
Hypomagnesemia: (all age groups)
Treat for Mg < 1.5 mg/dl: Give magnesium sulfate 25-50 mg/kg IV over 20 minutes
(maximum 2000 mg)
Hypocalcemia: (all age groups)
Treat for Ca < 7 mg/dl: given 10% Calcium gluconate (100 mg/kg diluted 1:1 with
D5W (given over 5-10 minutes)
