Step by step what do you do during a seizure?!


Question: step by step , thank you


Answers: step by step , thank you

1)while calling a dr., make sure to prevent head injury and other injuries (lower them to floor, remove objects)
2) time how long it lasts (the dr. will want to know)
3) observe the type of seizure : shaking-one side or both?, staring , loosing bladder control? Is it similar to other seizures they may have had before.
4) after the seizure ends the person should rest. If you know how obtain a set of vital signs (blood pressure , temp , respirations , pulse) then do so and report them to the dr.
you should NOT put anything in their mouth to prevent them from "swallowing their tounge" that is a myth and a physical impossiblity.

Do you mean if you are having one or if you are in the presence of someone else having one?

make sure they are clear of anything they may hit themselve on......time the seizure....after its over, position them on their side.......call 911, tho sometimes people who have frequent seizures don.t always make trips to the hospital
