• Resumen

  • Initial management involves the treatment of any potentially life-threatening conditions, such as airway compromise, breathing difficulties, haemodynamic instability and serious dysrhythmias. Thereafter, convulsions should be treated, fluid, acid–base and electrolyte abnormalities corrected, and measures taken to correct hypothermia or hyperthermia.
