Abstract

Seizures are associated with a broad range of cardiopulmonary disorders and may be encountered in a variety of pediatric and adult settings ranging from the emergency room to the intensive care unit (ICU) and the operating room (Table 1). It is important to recognize potential relationships between a specific cardiopulmonary presentation and possible seizure activity, including syncope, drug toxicity, and cardiopulmonary arrest. In clinical practice, it may be difficult to differentiate between a syncopal episode and true seizure activity or to recognize that seizures may represent a complication of a cardiopulmonary disorder such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Seizures may occur without tonic-clonic convulsive movements, and typical motor effects of seizures may be masked by the presence of muscle relaxants. This is of particular relevance given the large number of patients supported in the ICU following cardiac surgery and interventional cardiac procedures.
