SafeDose Stop the Seizure: Pediatric Assessment and Intervention

Seizures are among the most common pediatric neurologic emergencies encountered in emergency departments. Prompt recognition, rapid assessment, prioritization of interventions, and evidence-based management during the first critical minutes are essential to preventing injury, minimizing complications, and improving patient outcomes.

This evidence-based course prepares healthcare professionals to assess and manage pediatric patients experiencing seizures using current best practices and pediatric readiness principles. Learners will review seizure classifications, identify common etiologies, perform rapid neurologic assessment, implement immediate nursing interventions, administer evidence-based medications safely, and determine appropriate escalation of care. Through realistic emergency department scenarios, interactive decision-making activities, medication safety exercises, and competency-based case studies, learners will strengthen clinical judgment while integrating standardized pediatric assessment tools and clinical pathways into practice.
