A better, safer emergency treatment for potentially fatal seizure victims has been found, according to a federal study that involved the University of Arizona Emergency Medicine Research Center and the Glendale Fire Department. The National Institutes of Health announced today the results of a two-year study involving the drugs administered by emergency personnel to seizure victims showing that an alternate drug, given by intramuscular injection, is faster and is a more effective way to stop a prolonged seizure lasting longer than five minutes.
