Abstract (English): This updated guide contains levels of evidence and recommendations developed through structured questions (PICO, PECO, PIO, PEO) and a systematic search of international guidelines (ILAE, AAN, SAdE) and indexed articles, with the purpose of providing physicians in the Emergency Department with a clear diagnostic approach when treating patients of any age presenting with epileptic seizures (ES) and/or epilepsy. The objective is to unify criteria that ensure comprehensive care based on appropriate decision-making, thereby benefiting the patient through individualized analysis using proper anamnesis, physical examination, and precise laboratory and imaging studies. This will allow the indication of pertinent clinical and pharmacological measures for timely intervention, thus preventing complications and, whenever possible, recurrence of ES.
