How to provide first aid for epilepsy?

Epilepsy is epilepsy. Epilepsy refers to a disease in which sudden abnormal discharges of brain neurons cause temporary brain dysfunction. It is a chronic disease. Epilepsy will have long-term repeated attacks. Epilepsy can cause damage to brain function. Epilepsy attacks may recur and be severe. This will cause irreversible damage to the brain. Patients generally have memory loss and other symptoms such as dullness. How to provide first aid for epilepsy? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. How to treat epilepsy first aid

1. If you see a patient having an epileptic seizure, you must immediately lay the patient down flat. If the patient has already fallen to the ground, you must straighten the patient's position so that the patient is facing up.

2. Before the patient's teeth close tightly, put gauze between the patient's upper and lower teeth to prevent the patient from biting his tongue.

3. Loosen the patient's collar to allow the patient to breathe freely. Tilt the patient's head to one side to allow oral secretions to flow out on their own, preventing saliva from accidentally entering the airway and causing aspiration pneumonia.

4. During an attack, do not force the patient to drink water or take medicine, and do not forcefully press the patient's limbs to avoid fractures or dislocations. Timely first aid measures can help patients escape danger in time when an attack occurs. Epilepsy patients are in great danger in sudden situations, and their families must provide appropriate care to prevent the patients from losing consciousness and endangering their lives, or from suffering from status epilepticus and endangering their lives. Therefore, their families must help them escape danger.

2. Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a disease or clinical syndrome caused by abnormal discharges of groups of brain nerve cells due to many reasons. It is characterized by repetitiveness, paroxysmalness, transience and stereotypedness. Due to the different locations of abnormally discharging nerve cells and different ranges of discharge and diffusion, the patient's seizures may manifest as sensory, motor, consciousness, mental, behavioral, autonomic dysfunction, or a combination of these.
