ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical effect of diazepam and phenobarbital in children with febrile convulsion.Methods Seventy cases of febrile convulsion patients were divided into control group (phenobarbital treatment,35 cases) and experiment group (diazepam combined with phenobarbital,35 cases) by random digits table method,and compared the efficacy and complications.Results Two groups were cured within 1 h.The effective rate within 30 min in experiment group was significantly higher than that in control group [88.6％ (31/35) vs.74.3％ (26/35)] (P ＜ 0.05).The recurrent rate in experiment group was significantly lower than that in control group [2.9％ (1/35) vs.14.3％ (5/35)] (P ＜ 0.05).The complications had no statistically significant differences between two groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Diazepam combined with phenobarbital are very effective for children with febrile convulsion,can greatly improve clinical efficacy,decrease recurrent rate,and won't produce adverse reaction and complications,are the ideal treatment in the clinical treatment.
