What are the consequences of untimely treatment of hyperthermic seizures?

If it is a young child's hyperthermic seizure, parents should pay special attention to whether it is caused by epilepsy. The number of episodes of a fever is more than once. It lasts about 3-5 minutes, and the elderly can reach 10 minutes.

Young children must not sweat for high-temperature seizures, because this will make the child's body temperature higher. If it is not treated in time, the body temperature will be higher, which will affect the brain, and the condition will be serious.

Febrile seizures are very common in children, with a prevalence of 5 to 10. It is usually more common when the fever is 38 degrees or higher. During this time, the child's brain is in a period of rapid development in all aspects, the balance between the excitatory and inhibitory systems is in an unstable state, and febrile seizures are prone to occur.

Seizures usually occur within 12 hours of the onset of fever, and a sudden rise in body temperature is followed by a sudden onset of transient generalized seizures accompanied by loss of consciousness and rapid recovery after the attack. In general, neurologic and EEG studies are normal. Febrile seizures may have a clear family history, and it can be said that genetic factors are an inherent predisposition to seizures.

Febrile seizures are divided into simple and complex types, and the characteristics of simple febrile seizures are: seizures appear soon after hyperthermia, the duration is short (5 10 minutes), the seizures are generalized and bilateral, the psychomotor development is normal, there is no epileptiform discharge on the electroencephalogram, and the prognosis is good. Complex febrile seizures are characterized by:

Convulsions occur when there is a low-grade fever, lasting more than 15 minutes, frequent seizures often reach more than 5 times, the convulsions are asymmetrical to the left and right of the star, there are abnormal signs of the nervous system, the electroencephalogram is abnormal, the prognosis is poor, and there is a risk of epilepsy. There is no absolute boundary between these two types and must be analysed thoroughly.

The emergency treatment is to physically cool the child, stabilize the child's state, and then take him to the hospital, the impact is that the whole body is convulsed, confusion, incontinence, inability to organize speech normally, and fainting.

It can be physically cooled, put a cold towel on the head, or wipe it with alcohol, and pinch the philtrum, which will have a great impact, will cause the body to become very weak, and eventually lead to shock.

Parents are more concerned about their child's fever, which can occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. When a child has sudden hypokinesia, accompanied by stiffness, convulsions, and eye rolling, febrile convulsions should be suspected, and oral secretions should be cleaned up with a soft towel. Do not put a towel, fingers, etc. in your mouth during convulsions, and do not force it.

Common methods include placing an ice pillow on the head, applying a cold towel to the forehead, taking a warm bath, and taking oxygen immediately if severe seizures and cyanosis of the lips occur to reduce hypoxic brain injury. Febrile seizures can turn into epilepsy when a child with IR is placed on a pillow with his head turned to one side when there is saliva or vomiting from the mouth and nose, and in children with epilepsy, febrile seizures can cause seizures. But it can also be a trigger for epilepsy.

Brain neurons are affected by an increase in body temperature and behave abnormally, causing muscles to contract, leading to seizures. Febrile seizures in children are related to age, primary disease, and genetic factors. When this happens, parents should keep quiet and seek medical attention in time, because febrile seizures have genetic factors and are easy to reverse.

The rate is 50% within 1 year. Febrile seizures can cause brain damage, which can lead to mental retardation, behavioral disorders, etc., do not put spoons, chopsticks and anything else in your child's mouth (try to prevent your child from biting his tongue). In fact, he won't bite your tongue.

Febrile seizures are when the child's body temperature is higher than 38°C, when the child's body temperature is higher than 38°C, the symptoms of the convulsions suddenly become unconscious, the eyes are fixed or turned to the CIMA, the head is back, the corners of the eyes are contracted, the limbs are twisted, and the limbs are twisted for 5-10 minutes. Families should prepare thermometers, children's antipyretics and barbiturate tablets, give early warning of children's fever, and measure their body temperature, immediately let children take antipyretics and phenobarbital, and let children drink more boiled water, when having a seizure, immediately let children lie down beside them, head to one side, timely remove phlegm and saliva in the mouth, and prevent vomiting in the trachea from causing suffocation.

If such a situation occurs, then you should immediately put him in a well-ventilated place, then remove the foreign body in his mouth and nose, loosen his clothes, let him lie flat on the ground, and pinch his person hard, so that he can wake up, and you can also massage his arms and fingers with your hands, which can effectively alleviate this situation.

1.Intermittent use of anticonvulsants.

That is, there is no medication at ordinary times, only in the early stage of each febrile disease, when the body temperature rises to high, the diazepam solution is immediately injected rectum or given oral diazepam, and diazepam suppositories can also be used.

2.Long-term use of anticonvulsant medications.

For children with febrile seizures more than 5 times a year, and each febrile seizure episode lasts more than 30 minutes, anticonvulsant drugs can be taken for a long time, and adverse drug reactions should be paid attention to.

Data show that short-course diazepam can prevent recurrence of febrile seizures. The drug has the advantages of definite efficacy, easy to use, and small size, and is aimed at children with febrile convulsions who have had more than two times. The specific usage of short-range diazepam is:

Milligrams of kilograms of body weight each time, after the first use 8 hours and then repeated for the second time, can obtain a more satisfactory effect, only a few children should consider using the third time. It is important to note that all children with febrile seizures must be given oral diazepam in conjunction with antipyretics (eg, Tylenol or Thorn's liquid) for rapid cooling, and antibiotics must be aggressively used to control the underlying disorder.

Febrile seizures in children are caused by the immaturity of their nervous system, mainly in children from 6 months to 3 years old, there can be a family history, generally more at the beginning of the disease, when the body temperature rises, fever with cold limbs, gray complexion is easy to occur, can be reversed, after multiple convulsions cause cerebral hypoxia, can affect the intellectual development of children before the seizure, there can be aura, such as startles, shaking, daze or irritability. However, most of them have sudden onset of loss of consciousness, head tilted back, staring, turning up or squinting of the eyes, foaming at the mouth, muscle rigidity and clonic twitching of the face and limbs, and incontinence, which can last from a few seconds to a few minutes, sometimes reversed, or even lead to a state of ontarism. In patients with severe seizures or prolonged convulsions, the face, lips, and nails are purple, accompanied by phlegm in the throat, and even suffocation, which is life-threatening.
