abstract = {AbstractBackground: We aimed to determine the association
between seizure termination and side effects of isoflurane
forthe treatment of refractory status epilepticus (RSE) and
super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) in
neurointensivecare units (neuro-ICUs).Methods: This was a
multicenter retrospective study of patients with RSE/SRSE
treated with isoflurane for statusepilepticus termination
admitted to the neuro-ICUs of nine German university centers
during 2011–2018.Results: We identified 45 patients who
received isoflurane for the treatment of RSE/SRSE. During
isoflurane treat-ment, electroencephalograms showed no
epileptiform discharges in 33 of 41 $(80\%)$ patients, and
burst suppressionpattern was achieved in 29 of 41 patients
$(71\%).$ RSE/SRSE was finally terminated after treatment
with isoflurane in 23of 45 patients $(51\%)$ for the entire
group and in 13 of 45 patients $(29\%)$ without additional
therapy. Lengths of stay inthe hospital and in the neuro-ICU
were significantly extended in cases of ongoing status
epilepticus under isofluranetreatment (p = 0.01 for length
of stay in the hospital, p = 0.049 for length in the
neuro-ICU). During isoflurane treat-ment, side effects were
reported in 40 of 45 patients $(89\%)$ and mainly included
hypotension (n = 40, $89\%)$ and/orinfection (n = 20,
$44\%).$ Whether side effects occurred did not affect the
outcome at discharge. Of 22 patients withfollow-up magnetic
resonance imaging, 2 patients $(9\%)$ showed progressive
magnetic resonance imaging alterationsthat were considered
to be potentially associated with RSE/SRSE itself or with
isoflurane therapy.Conclusions: Isoflurane was associated
with a good effect in stopping RSE/SRSE. Nevertheless,
establishing remis-sion remained difficult. Side effects
were common but without effect on the outcome at
discharge.Keywords: Status epilepticus, Isoflurane,
