Brief description of study
DID YOU KNOW?... Seizures are one of the most common reasons why people call 9-1-1 for children. Seizures that do not stop on their own can be life-threatening.
Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are looking for children to take part in a study to identify ways help improve processes to ensure that a commonly used medication to treat seizures (called Midazolam) is given in the right dose by paramedics to children during an emergency to help stop a seizure.
The goal of this study is to decrease the number of children arriving athe emergency department with an ongoing seizure while maintaining
patient safety.
