Buccal Midazolam Training

Epilepsy Buccal Midazolam (BM) 

Epilepsy Buccal Midazolam (BM) Rescue Medication Information Sessions are provided to parents and caregivers throughout Ireland by Community Resource Officers from Epilepsy Ireland. Together with Quarriers UK and Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin, the initiative was created.

This service fills a critical need for parents and other caregivers of epileptic children. By lowering the occurrence of Status Epilepticus, a condition in which a seizure lasts for an extended period of time, the capacity to give rescue medication to a kid experiencing a tonic-clonic seizure in order to interrupt the seizure is a very crucial part of keeping a child safe. Additionally essential to ensuring the youngster lives as normally as possible are emergency drugs.

Training to medical personnel, educators, and SNAs in the administration of buccal midazolam and epilepsy awareness is also available from Epilepsy Ireland. The goal of this training is to make sure the professionals present gain a deeper understanding of epilepsy and know how to properly give Buccal Midazolam. In these professions, it can be common to be caring for or assisting a person with epilepsy.
