Baby Krishu, a 3-year-old child, has been admitted at Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai, with a diagnosis of Super Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE). This is a critical neurological condition characterized by prolonged seizures that are unresponsive to standard treatment protocols. The baby’s condition demands immediate and aggressive pediatric intensive care to stabilize and manage the recurrent seizures.

• Current Status: The child is in a fragile state and requires constant monitoring, advanced seizure management, and intensive care to prevent life-threatening complications.
• Challenges in Management: SRSE is a rare and severe condition requiring a multidisciplinary approach, including neurologists, intensivists, and nursing staff for round-the-clock care.

Treatment Plan:

1. Aggressive Pediatric Intensive Care Treatment:
• Continuous administration of anti-seizure medications through intravenous routes to control persistent seizures.
• Use of advanced monitoring systems to track brain activity and prevent complications.
2. Supportive Care:
• Oxygen therapy and ventilation if necessary to manage any respiratory distress due to prolonged seizures.
• Nutritional support to ensure proper caloric intake during prolonged hospital stays.
3. Investigational Procedures:
• Repeated imaging studies (MRI/CT scans) and blood tests to monitor the brain's condition and identify potential underlying causes.
4. Prolonged NICU Stay:
• The severity of SRSE requires an extended NICU stay under the supervision of specialized pediatric intensive care professionals.

The total cost of treatment is estimated to be ₹700,000, which includes the following:

• Investigational procedures (imaging, lab tests)
• Pre and post-treatment care
• Doctor consultations and specialist charges
• Medication and consumables
• NICU stay charges
