Intramuscular Midazolam in Status epilepticus: as effective as intravenous lorazepam for the initial treatment of status epilepticus.
Status epilepticus is a medical emergency associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is defined as "a single epileptic seizure of >30-min duration or a series of epileptic seizures during which function is not regained between ictal events in a >30-min period." Currently, epileptologists advise that seizures lasting longer than 5 minutes may not be self-limited and should be treated as status epilepticus.
