Neurocritical Care Society Podcast


Feb 14, 2019

Following refractory status epilepticus, the ictal-interictal EEG continuum can be as puzzling to intensivists as it can be to world-renowned epileptologists. Should you re-challenge with aggressive intravenous anesthetics? Or attempt to de-escalate therapy? This week on the NCS podcast, Dr. Starane Shepherd interviews Dr. Alvin Das on his recently published case series in Neurocritical Care that seeks to answer these questions.
