The most important characteristic of seizures is that they are unpredictable and occur in any setting. Seizures are dangerous, especially grand mal seizures – generalized tonic clonic seizures, sudden loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, body stiffness, twitching of limbs, also accompanied by purple lips, foaming at the mouth, irregular breathing, sometimes tongue bite, urinary and fecal incontinence, etc. Most of the seizures stop after a few minutes and consciousness gradually returns to normal, but there are a few that progress to status epilepticus and sudden death can occur. How to give first aid when having a grand mal seizure? 1, when the seizure, quickly let the patient lie on his side, do not pad pillows, put the gauze tongue depressor pad between the upper and lower teeth to prevent the patient from biting his own tongue. Some family members are worried about the patient biting his tongue during the seizure, and in an emergency, they put their fingers between the patient’s teeth, which is absolutely undesirable and will cause unnecessary harm to the family. 2, the patient’s head to the side, so that oral and nasal secretions flow out on their own, to prevent saliva accidentally into the airway, causing aspiration pneumonia, in serious cases can be asphyxiation, endangering the lives of patients. 3. At the same time, hold the patient’s jaws up to prevent respiratory distress. Untie the patient’s clothing, such as ties and taut clothing. And move away from objects or furniture that may cause injury to prevent the patient from accidents. 4.When the limb is convulsing, the limb should not be pressed or flexed to stop the convulsion, so as not to cause injury (such as fracture, etc.). You can stimulate or point pressure on the acupuncture points such as Renzhong, Hegu, Foot Sanli and Yongquan to help terminate the seizure. 5, if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes; or a grand mal seizure followed by a second seizure, the patient’s consciousness does not return between the two seizures, etc.; and the patient has respiratory impairment, injuries, immediately call an ambulance to send to the hospital emergency.
