In this episode of the Neurocritical Care Society Podcast Hot Topics series, host Richard Choi, DO, FNCS, joins Melissa Dang, PharmD, BCCCP, a neurocritical care pharmacist at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center, to discuss the article Real-World Antiseizure Medication Prophylaxis and Outcomes in Hospitalized Adults with Acute Brain Injuries, recently published in Neurocritical Care.

Together, they examine the real-world use of antiseizure medication prophylaxis in patients with acute brain injury, including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Dang highlights variability in current practice, key factors influencing prophylaxis decisions and the balance between seizure prevention and medication-related risks. She also reviews the study's limitations and underscores the ongoing importance of risk stratification in guiding patient care.
