What to do when having a seizure

γ€€γ€€The right thing to do is: 1. remain calm; 2. place the patient in a lateral position so that secretions in the mouth can flow out of the mouth during a seizure without backing up into the respiratory tract and causing asphyxiation; 3. loosen the patient’s collar and trouser belt to avoid further restriction of breathing by these things; 4. move things around the patient that may cause damage to the patient, such as fires, water bottles, glassware and tables and chairs away from the seizure site; if possible If possible, stuff something light and soft, such as a pillow, clothing, etc., under the patient’s head to avoid bruises or abrasions during a seizure; be careful not to do the following: 1. Do not forcefully stuff things into the patient’s mouth, especially hard openers, spoons, etc. Because the patient’s teeth are closed at this time, it is difficult to insert things into the patient’s mouth, and if you insert things into the patient’s mouth, you may pry the teeth loose; 2. If possible, stuff a hand towel or washcloth between the patient’s upper and lower teeth when the patient opens his mouth to prevent the patient from biting his tongue; 3. Sometimes improper force may also cause soft tissue injury or fracture to the patient.γ€€γ€€4, do not use your fingernails to excessively pinch people, so as not to cause local tissue damage; most patients will reduce the intensity of seizures on their own and gradually calm down; 5, when the patient is tonic, do not do mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, due to the tonicity of the respiratory muscles and abdominal muscles, the patient occurs apnea, the face and lips may be blue, at this time to do mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration can not make the air blow into the patient’s lungs; 6, seizures in 10 to 15 minutes, do not panic. If the seizure lasts for more than 15 minutes, the patient should be sent to the hospital immediately, because this kind of seizure is too long convulsions, may need to inject antiepileptic drugs to control; When the seizure stops, the brain is in a post-seizure rest state, the patient may appear unconscious, think sleep. This post-ictal state may last 10-15 minutes or several hours, at which time the patient should be allowed to rest quietly to facilitate the recovery of his or her brain function. Guard until the patient is awake, and if there is no abnormality after the seizure, the patient should be encouraged to carry out daily work and study.
