We report the initial six pediatric patients treated with ketamine for benzodiazepine-resistant status epilepticus in an urban, ground-based emergency medical services (EMS) system. Evidence for ketamine as a second-line agent for both adult and pediatric refractory seizure activity in the hospital setting has increased over the past decade. The availability of an inexpensive and familiar second-line prehospital anti-epileptic drug option is extremely desirable. We believe these initial data demonstrate promising seizure control effects without significant respiratory depression, indicating a potential role for ketamine in the EMS treatment of pediatric benzodiazepine-refractory seizures.
