Abstract
Tonic-clonic status epilepticus, which is refractory to phenobarbital, phenytoin and diazepam, may respond readily to a continuous infusion of pentobarbital. The efficacy of pentobarbital can be monitored at the bedside by EEG. The clinical and EEG findings of 2 children who developed refractory tonic-clonic status epilepticus and responded to pentobarbital are reported.
