The impact of depression and anxiety disorder symptoms on the health-related quality of life of children and adolescents with epilepsy.

abstract：:The use of rescue benzodiazepines in the management of seizures is widely accepted in emergency pediatric practice. They can, however, cause severe side effects, such as respiratory depression. We describe five patients who presented with severe respiratory depression following benzodiazepine administration for seizur...
