<prompt> The drug of choice in Status epilepticus isIntravenous diazepamOral DilantinCarbamazepineEthosuximide  <response>: A Status epilepticus is a medical emergency. Initial management includes maintenance of the airway and 50 dextrose 25-50 mL intravenously in case hypoglycemia is responsible. If seizures continue, 10mg of Diazepam is given intravenously over the course of 2 minutes, and the dose is repeated after 10 minutes if necessary. Alternatively, a 4 mg intravenous bolus of lorazepam, repeated once after 10 minutes if necessary, is given in place of diazepam. This is usually effective in halting seizures for a brief period but occasionally causes respiratory depression.
