How to care for patients with epilepsy

First of all, let the patient lie flat. In order to ensure that the patient does not bite his tongue, let the patient bite with a towel. During the attack of tetanic spasm, we should make the patient's posture more natural, but we should not take strong pressure to control the patient, because it can avoid fracture.

Secondly, in patients with epilepsy, family members must quickly to let patients supine position, it is best not to take a pillow to pad high. We must untie the collar of the clothes to avoid the patient's poor breathing. In addition, we should also pay attention to that at this time, the head of the patient should be tilted to the other side, because there will be white foam coming out, so as to prevent saliva from entering the airway and causing aspiration pneumonia.

Finally, if the patient's convulsions stop, you can clean up the secretion in the patient's mouth first. If the patient is still not awake at this time, then carry out artificial respiration, so as to reduce the brain damage caused by too long time of hypoxia. If you don't have this knowledge, you must learn it.
