First Aid for Seizures
August 13, 2009
Most of us get panicky and scared when we see any person having a seizure. This is because a person who suffers from seizures displays symptoms like rolling upward of eyes, jerky movements of the body, drooling and even foaming at the mouth and the person’s face and lips also start turning blue.
It is frightening to see a person having seizures. However, you must know how to give first aid to the suffering person to avoid serious consequences.
Seizures can be caused by various factors like epilepsy, head injury, and others. This article will acquaint you with some ways through which you can give first aid to a person having seizures.
First of all, you must remember to stay calm and composed. Don’t become panicky or frightened.
A person having seizures often suffers from a loss of consciousness and lacks awareness of his surroundings. You must first make him lie down on the ground so that he doesn’t hurt himself. Also, place a pillow below his head so that he does not have a head injury due to seizures.
Usually people crowd the person who is having seizures. This must be avoided. You must ensure that the suffering person gets enough fresh air to breathe and is not choked due to crowded conditions.
A person having seizures suffers from involuntary muscle contraction of the entire body. During the time the person is having seizures, you must avoid holding him.
You should wait for the seizure to get over. However, in the meantime, you must call up emergency.
Do not attempt to regain a person’s consciousness by giving him water during the time he is having seizures. Also, do not give him anything to eat.
After the seizure is over, you must check the person’s breathing. If you find that the person has stopped breathing, you must try to rescue his breathing. Also, take him to the hospital as soon as his seizures end.
