National Variation in EMS Response and Antiepileptic Medication Administration for Children with Seizures in the Prehospital Setting.

The majority of children in the US receive ALS responses for seizures. Although medications are infrequently administered, the majority who received medications had midazolam given, which is the current standard of care. Further research should determine the proportion of children who are continuing to seize upon EMS arrival and would most benefit from immediate treatment.
