The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) invites specialists to participate in a global survey on the use of anesthetic drugs in the treatment of epilepsy in patients aged 16 and older.
Epilepsy treatment may vary depending on the country, facility, and local procedures. Particularly significant differences exist regarding the timing of sedation/anesthesia initiation, the duration of the procedure, and the choice of medications used.
The goal of the survey, prepared by the ILAE Emergency Treatment Task Force, is to gather information on current clinical practice across various healthcare systems worldwide. The data collected will help assess whether broader international recommendations or guidelines regarding the use of anesthetics in this patient group are needed.
The survey can be completed online. The deadline for submitting responses is September 25, 2026.
