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) [9]
