Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether propofol or barbiturates should be preferred in the treatment of status epilepticus continuous seizure activity refractory to 2 standard antiepileptic agents
Detailed Description: Refractory status epilepticus SE develops in 31-44 of patients with SE with a mortality of 16-23 Coma induction is advocated for its management Propofol and barbiturates are the most used agents but no comparative study has been performed In consideration of the uncertainty regarding the relative effectiveness despite several retrospective data a prospective investigation is needed

The objective is to assess the effectiveness SE control adverse events of a first course of propofol versus barbiturates in the treatment of refractory SE in adults with refractory SE not due to cerebral anoxia

Comparison Coma induction with standardized doses of propofol or barbiturates titrated towards burst-suppression on EEG then assessment of the proportion of patients achieving a control of SE
