Résumé
Date de début de l'étude : 1 février 2013
Date à laquelle le premier participant a commencé l'étude.Patient admitted Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for a Generalized Convulsive Status Epilepticus (GCSE) will be randomized if they fulfil the inclusion criteria and after the written informed consent is obtained from the patient's next of kin. In clack of closed relatives, patients could be included according to the French Health Code for Case of medical emergency. In this situation, patient's consent should be then obtained as soon as possible According to randomization arm, patients will be treated either by intravenous sodium valproate (30 mg/kg during 15 min then 1 mg/kg/h during 12 h) or intravenous placebo. All included patients will benefit from first-line anti epileptic drugs and symptomatic medical care, in agreement with the Experts recommendation (RFE 2009). From day-1 to day-15, level consciousness(Glasgow Coma Scale, Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale), delirium (Confusion Assessment Method For Intensive Care Unit), reoccurrence of seizure, vital signs, organ dysfunction (Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Sequential Organ Failure) will be daily assessed. At day 2, the preventive oral anti-epileptic drug will be prescribed by a neurologist, blinded from randomization. At Day 15 and Day 30, neurological status, cognitive functions (Mini Mental State Examination, Frontal Assessment Battery, Glasgow Outcome Scale), and quality of life (SF36) will be assessed by a neurologist, also not aware of the randomization. The number of patients alive and discharged from Hospital day 15 15th day will assessed. 300 patients with GCSE will be randomized, 150 in each arm, in 16 ICUs and over a period of 3 years.

Written informed consent collected from close relation or a family member of the patient. Otherwise, inclusion according to French Health Code in case of medical emergency. In this case, the written informed consent of patient has to be collected as soon as possible then. in absence of a close of patient, the patient may be still included. the consent of the prosecution will be collected Exclusion Criteria: Other type of status epilepticus (including atypical form) occured before the onset of anti epileptic.
