Abstract

Status epilepticus is a severe neurological condition, characterized by abnormally, prolonged seizures. Recent studies have explored the use of ketogenic diets (KDs) as a potential therapeutic approach for refractory status epilepticus. This article summarises the recent literature and discussions regarding the practicalities of implementing KDs in the critical care setting. This overview was presented at the 9th London-Innsbruck Colloquium on Status Epilepticus and Acute Seizures held in April 2024.
