Please
note that following good clinical practice guidelines can improve patient outcomes.
However, guidelines should be used in the context of the clinical condition of
each individual patient. The clinical decisions used to manage patients after a
seizure remain the responsibility of the health professionals looking after
that patient. Neither the guideline authors nor the website server providing
access to the guideline take any responsibility for patient outcomes.
