Listen Now: Pediatric Seizure Treatment
Details
In this episode we break down the ideal and simple treatment protocol. It is a high priority to get benzodiazepines on board. The good news is you don’t have to place an IV right away. You can give midazolam intranasal or intramuscular- just get it in!
