Implementation of a standardized, 3-tiered protocol for treatment of neonatal seizures improved short-term outcomes. Although not measured directly, reductions in EEG duration and midazolam use are promising indicators of overall seizure burden. More research is needed to evaluate impact on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.
