PediDOSE Study

When paramedics treat active seizures, one-third of children arrive at the hospital still seizing.  As part of the Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizures in Emergency Medical Services (PediDOSE) study, Dr. Brooke Lerner and Dr. Brian Clemency are trying to improve these outcomes by equipping paramedics to quickly give the right anti-seizure medication dose.  Because it is a time-sensitive condition when AMR of WNY transports a child to Oishei Children’s Hospital, children will get enrolled before parent/guardian permission can be sought.
