Epilepsy is a group of the most common and complex clinical syndromes, commonly known as “epilepsy”, “lamb madness”. Epidemiological survey data show that the prevalence of epilepsy is 4‰-9‰, and a large-scale survey organized by the World Health Organization in China reported 8‰, and there are more than 10 million epileptic patients in China, while the new incidence rate in China is 25/100,000/year, and the annual number of new cases is 350,000. However, there are 20-30% of patients who have become drug-refractory epilepsy due to the ineffectiveness of long-term medication or the widespread and indiscriminate use of various anti-epileptic drugs, and some of them have developed epileptic psychosis, which greatly damages the physical and mental health of patients and causes social instability. These patients suffer greatly from psychosomatic damage and social instability, and cause great pain to their families. Because epilepsy is a chronic disease, most of the time the patient lives in the family, so the care of family members is very important in the treatment and recovery process. With the change in the biopsychosocial model of medicine, family care of epilepsy patients is particularly important. The usual care can be divided into therapeutic care, psychological care and life care. As most patients become unconscious when they have a seizure, they are unable to tell the seizure situation correctly. However, because family members are often very nervous when a patient has a seizure and forget to observe the condition, 80% of family members are not able to tell the details of the patient’s seizure when they visit the hospital, which to a certain extent affects the determination and treatment of epilepsy. The main observation points are 1) the regularity of the patient’s seizures, such as whether they occur at night or in the morning, whether there is a relationship between female patients and menstruation, and under what circumstances they are likely to occur more often, such as poor rest, spicy food, emotions, colds, etc.; 2) the seizure situation: how long it lasts, whether there is stomach discomfort, hallucinations, numbness in the hands and feet before the seizure, the part of the body where the seizure starts first, whether the head and eyes (3) how long the patient sleeps after the seizure, whether there is headache, etc. (1) Supervise the patient to take the medication on time and in the right amount, to reduce the leakage and under-servicing, and to increase the patient’s compliance with medical advice. This often makes the treatment a lost cause. (2) In the process of drug replacement and drug reduction, pay attention to slow drug reduction and avoid sudden drug discontinuation. The patient should also pay attention to prevent the patient from adding or changing medication too quickly, such as Toutai tablets and other drugs can cause serious side effects. 3, observation of drug side effects For some drugs common early side effects family members and patients should be familiar with, early observation and treatment. The main side effects of each drug are detailed in the following table: 4, efficacy observation and consultation recommendations Generally, epilepsy can be diagnosed only after three seizure-like epilepsy, epilepsy often requires drug treatment once diagnosed, the current epilepsy treatment in China is more confusing, especially some units in Chinese medicine add a large number of cheap western drugs or some harmful metal powder for treatment, often with poor results or obvious effects but easy to cause The family should guide the patient to a large hospital with an epilepsy specialist for medication treatment. The family should keep a detailed record of the medication taken (including the addition, reduction, and adjustment of medication), the side effects of the medication, and the therapeutic effect, so as to provide first-hand information to the physician and facilitate the physician’s choice of medication. The dose and type of medication can also be easily controlled, which can improve the treatment effect and avoid repeated adjustment of medication. For patients who have had frequent seizures for more than 3 years or whose seizures endanger their lives or the lives of their families, they should be advised to go to a surgical epilepsy center to receive surgical treatment, of which about 70% can be cured or have good results. In addition, some epileptic patients can show abnormal psychiatric seizures or various mental disorders, so families should pay attention to observe the abnormal mental performance and behavioral changes of epileptic patients. The main thing is to establish good habits, avoid overexertion, lack of sleep, high fever and other conditions, avoid stimulating food, avoid dangerous places and dangerous goods as much as possible, do not go up mountains or water alone, children do not play strong stimulating games, adults avoid driving, cycling and other highly stressful things. IV. Care during seizures: 1. Families should remain calm, observe and record the patient’s seizures in a timely manner, while not forcibly moving or pressing the patient to prevent fractures from occurring. 2. Place the patient in a flat, loose position as much as possible to avoid falls. 3.Loosen the patient’s belt, tie and red scarf, etc., tilt the head to one side, wipe the outflow and spit out food from the mouth in time to prevent inhalation, and do not perform irrigation to clean the mouth at the same time. 4.For patients who partially exhibit psychomotor seizures, protect the patient and prevent walking around to avoid injuring themselves or others; 5.Let the patient rest as much as possible after the convulsions stop; 6.If the patient appears to have misaspiration, continuous convulsions reach more than 30 minutes or if the patient does not regain consciousness between convulsions, report to the medical unit for help in time.
