DIASTAT (Diazepam Gel-rectal Administration) Seizure Medication Training

In this video, we will be demonstrating how-to administer a commonly prescribed Benzodiazepine called DIASTAT (Diazepam Gel-rectal Administration) to help control break through seizures. Prolonged tonic-clonic seizures or clusters of shorter seizures left untreated can sometimes lead to status epilepticus. Treatment within 3-5 minutes can often stop status epilepticus from happening and help prevent permanent brain damage or death. You may prevent a trip to the emergency room if you treat seizures early by following your child’s seizure emergency medication protocol provided by your doctor.
