Pre-Hospital
Treatment should begin with attention to airway, breathing and circulation (ABC), with
the application of high-flow oxygen where available.
Blood glucose should be checked, and intravenous dextrose used to treat the patient if hypoglycaemia is found or suspected.
There is a good amount of evidence to support the use of benzodiazepines in the pre-hospital setting. Use either:
- Diazepam (rectal) or
- Midazolam (buccal or intranasal) [11]
