How to give first aid after epilepsy after general anesthesia

summary

Because my sister-in-law has been suffering from epilepsy, there was a situation before that was that she had a seizure after general anesthesia, which scared everyone. The doctor said that emergency treatment after surgery is particularly critical. After all, this disease will have a great impact on the brain of patients. Next, I'll tell you how to give emergency treatment after epilepsy after general anesthesia?

How to give first aid after epilepsy after general anesthesia

First: clonic period, limb muscle contraction, easy to cause joint dislocation and limb abrasions. At this time, you can press the big joints of the limbs (such as shoulder, elbow, hip, knee) with appropriate force to limit the twitch range. Do not use excessive force or force to press, so as to avoid artificial injury or fracture of muscle and joint.

Second: the patient's head is too backward in the ankylosis period, and the jaw is too stretched, which can cause cervical compression fracture or mandibular dislocation. At this time, one hand should support the patient's occipital part with a little force to prevent the neck from over extending, and one hand should support the mandible to resist the mandible from over stretching. Protect your tongue. It's better to put a tongue presser wrapped with gauze or a hollow rubber rod between the upper and lower molars of the patient when there are aural symptoms, so as to prevent the patient from biting his tongue in clonic phase. Don't put it between the incisors, so as not to block the respiratory tract or the incisors fall off.

Third: large seizures when the respiratory secretions are more, easy to cause respiratory obstruction or aspiration pneumonia. At the beginning of the attack, the patient's head should be turned to one side so that the secretion can flow out naturally. In addition, it is best to unbutton the patient's neck to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. The belt should be untied when the attack occurs, and the denture should be removed when there is one.

matters needing attention

Epilepsy patients will have a lot of symptoms, such as tongue biting or mouth foaming. All of these will cause danger to the patient's body, so it is suggested to put a toothbrush in the patient's mouth, and if it has a small attack, it can be pinched. If you have a major attack, you have to rely on your doctor to take a sedative.
