Ketogenic diet therapy has been found to be an effective means of treating afebrile seizures that are refractory to antiepileptic medication alone. Controversies exist regarding its use. Potential harmful side effects include Staphylococcus aureus infections, retarded growth, hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia, urolithiasis, and optic neuropathy. Pediatric nurses with knowledge about ketogenic diet therapy and current research regarding its use, will be better able to determine the appropriateness of this form of therapy for children with seizures that cannot be controlled by medication alone.
生酮饮食疗法已被发现是治疗仅对抗癫痫药物难治的无热惊厥的有效方法。关于其使用存在争议。潜在的有害副作用包括金黄色葡萄球菌感染、生长发育迟缓、低血糖、高脂血症、尿路结石和视神经病变。了解生酮饮食疗法及其当前使用研究的儿科护士，将更有能力确定这种治疗方式对仅靠药物无法控制癫痫发作的儿童是否合适。
