Purpose of review

Disease-related treatment action plans for acute exacerbations providing information that may be helpful for self-management for patients and caregivers are commonly used for chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes. However, among patients with epilepsy, a review of the literature suggested that the majority did not have an action plan in place for acute seizure treatment.

Recent findings

Currently, there is a lack of unified guidance on seizure action plans (SAPs) in the literature. In the authors’ opinion, available formats have limitations for practical use and may not be easily customizable to individual patients, and they are not often designed to provide simple-to-follow steps for rapid immediate steps to determine and initiate appropriate treatment of seizure emergencies. Our group reviewed current examples of SAPs and provided guidance on the development of acute seizure action plans (ASAPs) designed to facilitate rapid, appropriate acute care in the community and to be as useful as possible for a wide range of care partners, including those with limited experience.

Summary

This paper provides agreed upon expert opinion recommendations and considerations for goals, development process, types of content, and format for an ASAP.

专家小组关于制定急性癫痫行动计划 (ASAP) 的建议

审查目的

针对急性加重的疾病相关治疗行动计划提供的信息可能有助于患者和护理人员的自我管理，通常用于哮喘和糖尿病等慢性病。然而，在癫痫患者中，对文献的回顾表明，大多数没有针对急性癫痫发作治疗的行动计划。

最近的发现

目前，文献中缺乏关于缉获行动计划 (SAP) 的统一指导。在作者看来，可用的格式在实际使用中存在局限性，并且可能不容易针对个别患者进行定制，并且它们通常不是设计为提供简单易懂的步骤，以便快速确定和启动癫痫紧急情况的适当治疗. 我们的小组审查了当前的 SAP 示例，并就制定急性癫痫行动计划 (ASAP) 提供了指导，该计划旨在促进社区中快速、适当的急性护理，并尽可能对广泛的护理合作伙伴有用，包括那些患有经验有限。

概括

本文针对 ASAP 的目标、开发过程、内容类型和格式提供了商定的专家意见建议和注意事项。
