Status epilepticus controlled by althesin infusion

Anaesth Intensive Care. 1979 Feb;7(1):50-2. doi: 10.1177/0310057X7900700107.

Abstract

Althesin will control status epilepticus when other agents fail. Its major advantage over other agents is its lack of accumulation because it is readily metabolized. Three patients are reported and relevant literature is discussed.
