    Status Epilepticus ?

    The drugs and the order in which they are used.
    "Pam is funny and has a barbie."

    Pam
    Diazepam rectal 0.2 mg/kg
    Or lorazepam 0.1 mg/kg at 2 mg/min

    Pheny
    Phenytoin 20 mg/kg at 50 mg/min
    Or fosphenytoin 20 mg/kg at 150 mg/min

    Barbie
    Phenobarbital 20 mg/kg at 50 mg/min

    For the doses:

    Remember 0.2 mg/kg Diazepam at 1 mg/min.
    Switch numbers if you are using Lorazepam, that is, 0.1 mg/kg at 2 mg/min.

    Then 2 becomes 20 for Phenytoin. The rate is 50 mg/min.

    Fosphenytoin at thrice the rate.

    And it is the same as Phenytoin for Phenobarbital.
