UPCOMING Continuing Education: December 4, 2024

Seizure Management Overview

 

Our upcoming CE is presented by, Suzanne Rosen, VMD, DACVIM (Neurology), Wednesday, December 4, 2024 from 6:30pm – 9:00pm.

This continuing education (CE) session will focus on the comprehensive management of seizures in veterinary patients, covering both emergency and long-term strategies. Participants will gain insights into the critical decision-making process for determining when to treat seizures and how to approach both emergency and maintenance management.

Learning Objectives:

Emergency Seizure Management: the session will discuss the indications for treatment in an acute setting, including:

  • Identifying when emergency intervention is necessary
  • Step-by-step guidelines for stabilizing patients experiencing status epilepticus (ongoing seizures) or cluster seizures (multiple seizures in a short time)
  • Appropriate medications for immediate seizure control, such as benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam, midazolam), and other emergency drugs like phenobarbital or levetiracetam

Long-Term Seizure Management: the session will also discuss long-term management of seizures including:

  • The four main maintenance anti-seizure medications used in long-term management of seizures (phenobarbital, potassium bromide (KBr), levetiracetam (Keppra) and zonisamide)
  • These medications will be reviewed in detail, highlighting both their benefits and drawbacks
  • The use of clorazepate and intranasal midazolam at home

By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of when and how to treat seizures, the pros and cons of different anti-seizure medications, and how to tailor treatment plans based on individual patient needs.
