【 摘 要 】

Abstract Super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a serious and life-threatening neurological condition. Ketogenic diet (KD) is a diet characterized by high fat, low carbohydrate, and moderate protein. As KD shows effectiveness in controlling seizures in more than half of SRSE patients, it can be a treatment option for SRSE. Currently, KD treatment for SRSE is based on personal experience and observational evidence has been published. In the context of a lack of a validated guideline, we convened a multicenter expert panel within the China Association Against Epilepsy (CAAE) Ketogenic Diet Commission to work out the Chinese expert recommendations on KD for SRSE. We summarize and discuss the latest clinical practice of KD for SRSE in critical care settings. Recommendations are given on patient selection, the timing of KD, diet implementation, and follow-up. More research data are needed in this area to support better clinical practice.
