Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare form of early-onset epilepsy syndrome affecting between 1:16,000 and 1:46,000 and is associated with pleomorphic seizure activity, cognitive decline, motor, and behavior abnormalities. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is the cause of death in nearly half of the deaths in patients with DS, with the mean age of death 8.7 years old and 73% of deaths occurring before age 10. Seizures typically begin in the first year of age, with most occurring between months 5 and 8, and it is usually a prolonged, tonic-clonic (accounting for 52% of first seizures) or hemiclonic (35%) seizure. Environmental triggers or events, such as fever, acute stress, and physical exercise may precipitate seizures, and at least 85% of those who are clinically diagnosed with DS have variations in the SCN1A gene. Unfortunately, diagnosis is not uncommonly delayed until a patient 3 years of age or older, prior to which antiseizure medication selection may be suboptimal or ineffective, which may lead to seizure exacerbation, an increased risk of status epilepticus, and worse cognitive outcomes.

Early identification of atypical motor patterns is crucial for timely intervention and optimizing developmental outcomes in infants. A simple yet effective method for assessing these patterns involves observing the baby during a 30-second, 4-position exam. This examination includes careful observation of the infant in the following positions:

* Supine: Note posture, spontaneous movements, and interaction with the environment.

* Horizontal Suspension: Observe head control, trunk extension, and limb movements against gravity.

* Pull to Sit: Assess head lag, trunk activation, and ability to assist with the movement.

* Prone: Evaluate head lifting, weight-bearing through the arms, and early mobility attempts. Gain valuable insights and download resources through this complimentary CME/CE course

Detailed, Practical Online CME for Hospitalists

Through a series of one-hour continuing medical education lectures, Hospital Medicine Review covers the clinical complexities, challenges, and complications hospitalists deal with every day. Lectures highlight the hospitalist’s role in co-management of surgical patients, consultation on non-internal-medicine hospitalized patients, and evaluation of inter-hospital transfers.

Authoritative faculty offer guidance for compassionate delivery of prognoses, learning from one’s mistakes, and social determinants of health, and more — all within the hospital setting. Here are just a few of the key-take home points you’ll glean from this online CME program:

• Approach to Preoperative Evaluation, Testing, and Medication Management. Optimize the patient’s medical condition but do not say, “Cleared for surgery.”
• In-Hospital Infections: Diagnosis and Management. Approach to in-hospital infections requires consideration of the host factors, the recent events and exposures, the possible pathogens involved, and the potential for toxicity or drug reactions with each therapeutic option.
• Seizure/Status Epilepticus: Diagnosis and Management. A high index of suspicion is required to appropriately diagnose seizures, epilepsy, and status epilepticus, as there are a variety of manifestations.
• Tele-Health for Hospitalists. Tele-hospitalist medicine has been shown to provide clinical excellence, increase access to care, and contribute to patient and provider satisfaction.
