Many of you included a blood glucose check on the seizure patient as a performance measure. This is actually a point of debate nationally.
The current National EMS Clinical Guidelines recommend you check glucose IF the patient is still actively seizing and only after anticonvulsants.
Here are the 4 performance measures that the National Guideline has for seizures:
1) Frequency of performing glucometry
2) Time to administration of anticonvulsant meds
3) Rate of respiratory failure
4) Rate of seizure recurrence
