In this episode of the NCS Podcast Currents series, host Lauren
Koffman, DO, MS, speaks with Camilo Espinosa-Jovel, MD, and Clio
Rubinos, MD, MS, FACNS, about their recent Currents article on the Seizure
Code strategy.
They share how their collaboration began across continents, the
origins of the seizure code and the importance of recognizing and
treating urgent epileptic seizures before they progress. The
discussion covers barriers faced in lower-resource settings, the
steps involved in creating and implementing a protocol and the
measurable improvements in treatment times and patient outcomes.
They also reflect on how similar approaches could be adapted within
U.S. hospitals to improve care for patients with
seizures.
