I was taught SE is continuous seizure activity lasting 30 minutes or longer or recurrent seizure(s) without an intervening period of consciousness.

Again, I am not waiting 15 minutes. If the PT is seizing when I arrive they are getting either Valium or Ativan as soon as IV access can be established, or rectally if IV access is unattainable.

And speaking of Valium how many, by a show of keyboard stroke, have given valium rectally, either Ped or Adult?
