The correct method of first aid for epilepsy should immediately make the patient lie on his side, with his head turned to the side, so that saliva and other liquids can flow out of the mouth without being inhaled into the airway, and attention should be paid to preventing the patient from being injured and not pressing the patient’s limbs with force, as well as to consulting the hospital in a timely manner.
1. Adjust the epileptic patient to a side-lying position, quickly and promptly clean up secretions and vomit in the patient’s mouth to prevent choking. If the patient’s posture can not be adjusted, then the patient’s head to the side, so as to facilitate the discharge of secretions and vomit.
2. Move the sharp objects and hard objects away from the patient in time to prevent injury to the patient, and when the patient opens his mouth, fold a small towel or handkerchief into the upper and lower molars to avoid tongue bite, and relax the collar and belt of the pants.
3. Do not press the patient’s limbs during convulsions, so as not to cause fractures. Most seizures can be stopped within a few minutes, so there is no need to take special therapeutic measures, and do not take the so-called “pinch” method, which not only fails to stop the seizure, but also may cause new injuries to the patient.
After the seizure stops on its own, it is recommended to consult the hospital to find the cause of the seizure, and may need to adjust the medication; if the seizure is not relieved on its own within a short time after the seizure, you should call 120 in time and send it to the hospital for rescue treatment.
