Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of ketamine on pediatric and adolescent patients suffering from super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) and its relationship with underlying inflammatory causes.
- A cohort of 18 patients was analyzed, revealing that 83% experienced a significant reduction in seizure frequency after ketamine treatment, although those with inflammatory conditions had less favorable outcomes.
- The findings suggest that while ketamine is generally safe and effective, the presence of inflammation may diminish its efficacy in treating SRSE.
Objective: Hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome (HSES) is a severe subtype of acute encephalopathy with a poor prognosis. The factors associated with acute neurological outcomes in patients with HSES remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the clinical features, laboratory and radiological findings, and treatments that determine the acute outcomes of HSES.

The association between electroencephalogram (EEG) findings and neurological outcomes in patients with HSES, including the onset of epilepsy, remains unclear.
Methods: Thirty-two children with HSES registered in a database of Osaka City General Hospital between 2003 and 2018 were included in this study.
