  • EPI 1: Antiepileptic Medications for Management of Acute Convulsive
    [Updated 2015] EPI 1: Antiepileptic medications for management of acute convulsive seizures when no intravenous access is available [Updated 2015] SCOPING QUESTION: In adults with acute convulsive seizures in first-level care or in the community (when no IV access is available), which antiepileptic medications produce benefits and/or harm when compared to comparator? BACKGROUND The treatment for acute convulsive seizures is aimed at earliest cessation of seizures in order to prevent progression to status epilepticus, cardiorespiratory compromise and cerebral damage. Absence of timely intervention may lead to a protracted seizure episode that is more difficult to control with significant subsequent neurological morbidity and mortality (Chen et al., 2014). Rapid and sustained control of seizure status may obviate the need for multiple anti-epileptics and prolonged hospitalization and drastically reduces the chances of adverse outcomes (Chen et al., 2014). It is generally accepted that brief tonic-clonic seizures do not require medication treatment, as they are usually self-limiting. However, seizures of more than five minutes duration, recurrent seizures, delayed recovery of consciousness and a compromised cardio-respiratory system warrant emergency medication treatment. The ideal anti-epileptic medication is one that can be given safely and easily, is rapidly acting, has minimum cardiorespiratory adverse effects, has a long-lasting effect and is inexpensive (Shorvon, 2012). Dispensing antiepileptic medications intravenously is the fastest route of administration; however, achieving peripheral venous access may be difficult in a convulsing patient. This situation is compounded by resource constraints, lack of trained personnel and pre-hospital settings, resulting in the frequent use of non-intravenous routes as the first line for administration of anti-epileptic medications in resource-limited settings (Anderson and Saneto, 2012).

Sedatives are drugs which reduce excitement and cause sedation. The same drug may act as a hypnotic or sedative or both depending upon the dose. Hypnotic and sedatives depress the central nervous system for producing sleep and sedation.

MBQ&aittSM OF CYCLIC ACBTAL FOBM&TION. The importance of the cyclic acetals in relation to the chemistry of the carbohydrates is well recognized and their synthesis 1) has been the subject of much experiment and study. 2) In earlier work dealing with the formation of cyclic acetals by the action of acetylene on polyhydroxy compounds in the presence of a catalyst* an interesting speculation as to the mechanism of this reaction was brought forward. With acetylene and ethylene glycol, for example, it was assumed that the first change involves the addition of one hydroxyl to the unsaturated acetylene linkage with formation of the intermediate hydroxy-ethyl Tinyl ether, (A). HCSGH H-—6 - CB*2- CRg00 —*- CH2=CH - 0 - GH2- CH20H W and that (A), repeating the same general reaction, intra-molecularly rearranges as fast as formed into ethylidene glycol. (B). H2C — CH - 0 - GH2 0 - CH2 C J 1 — CH3 - CH' | N E—0 GH2 0 - CH2 (B) The present investigation deals with the direct synthesis of the Intermediate (A) and the establishment of its constitution. It is shown further that the rearrangement into (B)t as indicated above, takes place in a most striking manner* When pure, freshly prepared, hydroxy-ethyl vinyl ether is brought In contact with a trace of 40$ sulphuric acidtan explosive reaction occurs^and the unsaturated alcohol-ether rearranges itself quantitatively into the saturated cyclic acetal, ethylidene glycol* Both the rate and the energy of this transformation are remarkable* In small amounts, however, and with strong cooling, the violence may be modified somewhat, although even under control the cyclization is complete witon a very short time.
