ConclusionMidazolam has become the preferred benzodiazepine in pre- and in-hospital settings, both in children and adults. The same applies to the increased use of levetiracetam and lacosamide over time in children and adults, while phenobarbital, phenytoin, and valproate use decreased. Continuous midazolam infusion and propofol remain the most frequently used anesthetic drugs. Mortality and outcome remain stable despite changes in medication patterns.
