AB Defined  as  continuous  seizures  or  repetitive,  discrete  seizures  with  impaired  consciousness  in  the  interictal  period.  The  duration  of  seizure  activity  to  meet  the  definition  has  traditionally  been  15–30  min.  A  more  practical  definition  is  any  situation  requiring  the  acute  use  of  anticonvulsants;  in  generalized  convulsive  status  epilepticus  (GCSE),  this  is  typically  when  seizures  last  >5  min.
