Patients in the emergency department need either a venous blood gas or an arterial line. One off arterial blood gases are rarely necessary.

New #APLS status epilepticus guideline published.

* Timings are tighter, new intervention every 5 mins
* Levetiracetam is 2nd line agent

Why? 90% self terminate within 4mins, but >5mins = 80% chance of >30min duration = ⬆️ risk of death.

Early intervention crucial
