Improving Status Epilepticus Treatment Times (NCT06194747)
Quality Improvement in Time to Treatment of Status Epilepticus
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized effectiveness-implementation hybrid study aimed at determining the effect of dissemination of a QI bundle on the time to treatment of SE among hospitalized, non-critically ill children. The primary study endpoint is to decrease the time from the SE diagnosis to treatment with the first dose of a benzodiazepine (BZD) as measured during hospitalization, which will decrease chances of morbidity and mortality.
