    During seizures, the patient should be placed on a flat back to avoid falling. Untie the collar to avoid tilting the head back excessively, and a tongue depressor wrapped in gauze can be placed between the upper and lower dentition of the patient to avoid tongue bites.

    The general seizure time of epilepsy is 5-15 minutes. It should be noted that if the patient remains unconscious after the seizure, he or she should be alert to status epilepticus and should be sent to the hospital promptly.

    Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome caused by hypersynchrony and abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain due to multiple causes. The clinical classification is complex. The most harmful to the human body is generalized tonic-clonic seizures, that is, grand mal seizures.

    Presents with sudden onset of loss of consciousness, falls, tonic-clonic seizures, and postictal recovery of consciousness. During the seizure, the patient should be placed on a flat line, the airway should be kept open, lip and tongue bites should be avoided, and the patient's limbs should not be forcibly moved. If there is a reversal, the interictal consciousness is still unclear, or it lasts for a long time, it may be status epilepticus, and you should be sent to the hospital quickly.

    There are a variety of triggers for grand mal seizures, such as non-standardization, patients stopping or reducing their medication on their own, smoking and drinking, excessive mental stress, etc. Therefore, patients with epilepsy need to go to a regular hospital under the guidance of a doctor**, about 70% of patients can be completely controlled with anti-epileptic drugs, and 50% of patients can no longer have the disease for life after regular reduction.

    During a seizure, there is a movement disorder, there are convulsions, and the person subconsciously wants to control him. In fact, this is not right, if you forcibly hold down the epileptic patient, there will be a fracture problem. At this time, the most correct way to deal with epilepsy is to stay calm, protect the patient, do not let him fall or hit nearby objects, and do not let the patient get hurt.

    When an epileptic person has a seizure, many people surround the epilepsy patient out of concern. This is inappropriate, a group of people gathered, the air quality is not good, there is no way to circulate, it affects the breathing of the epilepsy patient, it is not good for the epilepsy patient.

    Don't panic too much, keep the air circulating around the patient, and don't huddle together. When a person with epilepsy has a seizure, someone next to him can help him adjust his position. Lying on the side of the person with epilepsy makes it easier for the patient to expel secretions so that the patient does not choke and accidents do not occur.

    If there is no way to help the patient adjust the posture, the patient's head can also be turned slightly to one side, which can also achieve the purpose of preventing suffocation.

    It is often seen on TV shows that when a person has a seizure, the person next to him will stuff something in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue. This is actually an unreasonable practice, and it is best not to do it if you don't have a professional around. When epilepsy patients have seizures and convulsions, some family members hope that the patient will not have convulsions, so they take some external forces to restrain the patient, which is wrong, because due to the time limit, it is likely to cause accidental injuries to the patient, such as fractures.

    In addition to the seizure, we can give something to protect the tongue, because before the seizure, some patients will have a precursor of reverse, at this time he knows that he is going to have epilepsy, so you can give some towels or tongue depressors, put between the two upper and lower teeth, bite together, so as to avoid biting the tongue during the seizure. You must learn first aid for epilepsy, and you can't be too flustered and lose your rules.
