Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Compare the efficacy onset of clinical anticonvulsant activity and complications of diazepam and lorazepam given intravenously as prehospital therapy to patients in status epilepticus

II Determine the effect of prehospital therapy on the incidence of status epilepticus at the subsequent emergency department admission

III Establish whether prehospital therapy alters hospital management of these patients and ultimately affects patient outcome
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE This is a randomized double blind multicenter study Patients are stratified by center

Patients en route to the hospital in a San Francisco Department of Health Paramedic Division ambulance are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups Informed consent is waived due to impaired consciousness

Patients receive intravenous diazepam lorazepam or placebo during transport The patient is re-treated if the seizure is sustained after the first dose or recurs after the first dose without the patient regaining consciousness

Upon arrival at the hospital all patients receive the standard status epilepticus treatment in use at that site
