    Could ketamine be the key to stopping life-threatening seizures?

    Every second counts during a prolonged seizure. Known as status epilepticus, these seizures won’t stop on their own, and if not treated fast, they can lead to brain damage, ICU stays, or death. Michigan Medicine is now leading a major clinical trial that could change how these patients are treated in the emergency department. The study, called KESETT (Ketamine add-on therapy for Established Status Epilepticus Treatment Trial), funded by the NIH, will test whether adding ketamine to current treatments can stop seizures more effectively.
