Patient's question:
What emergency measures should parents take during a child's seizure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Emergency Measures for Seizure: Immediately approach the person and support them, trying to guide them to fall slowly to prevent injury. At the same time, quickly roll a handkerchief or gauze into a tube and place it between the person's upper and lower teeth before their lips become tightly closed, to prevent biting the tongue during jaw lock. For someone who has already fallen and is lying face down, turn them over to prevent airway obstruction. If the person's jaw is locked, do not force it open, as this may cause loose or falling teeth. Then, the rescuer should loosen the person's collar and belt to ensure clear breathing. To prevent saliva or vomit from entering the airway and causing suffocation, the rescuer or family members should stay by the person's side and clean up any expelled substances. Protect the person from falling or slipping. Do not forcefully press the limbs of a convulsing person, as this may cause fractures. Pay attention to the person's heart and breathing, keeping life support as the priority. In cases of continuous seizures, provide oxygen. If breathing does not return promptly after convulsions, artificial respiration should be administered. Or, promptly take the person to the hospital for emergency treatment. I hope you receive proper treatment and recover soon!
