A Guide to Seizure Management for Emergency Medical Responders



Epilepsy Foundation

As an EMS responder, chances are you’ll encounter a person either experiencing a seizure or just recovering from one. For the patient, it can be a scary experience, especially for those who’ve had a seizure for the first time. They will look to you for reassurance and safety. Armed with appropriate knowledge, you’ll be able to offer them answers, comfort and care.

  1. My dad died from a grand mah. He had them alot and one day he went to bed, i woke up to being told he died in his bed as they found him face down arms wide open as if he was falling down and he tried to put his hands out bc he knew he was falling down or something. Sad. Miss him.

  2. @5:02 I just had a grand mal or general tonic clonic seizure a few days ago. I wish someone would have shoved a cloth or something in my mouth, as I nearly bit my tongue off. It is split deeply in several places and purple and blue in others. It's been days, and I still can barely stand the pain of eating!

  3. I had four yesterday. I used to have them regularly. Haven't had one since 2015. Just had four in one day. Started a new med. It causes me to hurt all over in my muscles and bones. Now I'm tired and sleepy. I do not do drugs. I do have mitrovalve prolapse and a heart murmur.

  4. Great video. My brother has seizures. He is blind and doesn't talk with very limited sign language . So Im trying to learn more about them.Thank you !

  5. i have always wondered if i had and continue to have seizures – before one of these things i often get weird smells some quite strong and not related to anything around me – i can get visual weirdness like tunnel vision or just not right – my voice starts to sound really squeaky up to a couple of hours before this happens – i can blank out – have fallen down but now try to get down onto something – apparently my head can twitch sometimes other times i blink a lot – i can feel like i am asleep yet awake and cant move – and both bowels and bladder have been known to empty totally – embarrassing to the extreme – my doctor has said i am just dehydrated – these sessions can be spaced well apart or i can have a couple a day – they last about 2 minutes??? – i am extremely tired after these moments – and my speech sounds slurred to me – i have had a head injury about 2.5 years ago and wonder if it is all connected

  6. my friend is having a seizure(hes well known for years) and hes having one NOW in a voice chat and its worrying, hes moaning and sounds drunk/slow and its freaking me the fuck out (also had a coworker do it and that was the first time i experienced it

  7. Do we turn the people on the side so that the breathing is okay and
    nothing goes in the lungs, after the convulsions have stopped or during
    the convulsions?
