Intubation post GM seizure: when ?

Ivan,

this discussion becomes increasingly futile, it is not trauma related 
and I will be away from my computer for a couple of days, though I will 
have limited abilities to answer. Thus three good reasons for this to be 
my last post on this topic.
> Matthias ..I hope they do get some benzos and other sedatives...

Hopefully you do not advocate any "anticonvulsive treatment" in a single 
uncomplicated seizure - that would be kidding.

Again, you did not give answer to any question I asked you, other than 
anecdotes. Instead you keep the discussion going like "Mathias cuts his 
toenails (true), women cut their toenails (true), thus Mathias is a 
woman (wrong, because you missed that these facts are unrelated)". 
People started wars by going like this....

The mere fact that aspiration is dangerous does not free you from the 
necessity to give evidence for your assertion that aspiration is a 
common and dangerous complication of *simple* single GM seizures *and* 
that intubation would lower this risk with less risk and less costs than 
simple observation / positioning the patient.

Stay safe!

Mathias
