NCT00219479
It is unclear how enteral nutrition via a feeding tube should be given when a patient is receiving enteral Dilantin. Some caregivers hold the feedings for one hour before and one hour after the Dilantin dose to insure adequate absorption of the medication and some caregivers think that the feedings do not need to be interrupted. Hypothesis: Dilantin levels will remain therapeutic when enteral nutrition is given continuously during the administration of enteral Dilantin. The objective of this study is to determine Dilantin levels when enteral feedings are given by the continuous method. Thirty patients will be studied. When Dilantin levels are in the therapeutic range for 2 consecutive days on interrupted feedings (baseline), the patient will be switched to continuous feedings uninterrupted for the medication, for 7 days. Dilantin levels will be checked daily and if the levels become subtherapeutic an intravenous (IV) bolus of Dilantin will be given and the enteral dose will be increased (doses determined by primary caregiver). Serum albumin will be measured at baseline and at the beginning and end of each week, in order to calculate free Dilantin.
NCT03346382
Retrospective data analysis, all emergency medical services of the city of Zurich interventions due to epileptic convulsions during June 2013 and December 2014 have been analyzed regarding the type of drug used, its application mode and the application mode based success. Furthermore, children versus adults were compared. Continuous variables were summarized as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and also presented as median \[minimum; maximum\]. Groups were compared using the independent samples t-test. P-values \< 0.05 are considered significant.
