When a patient is experiencing a seizure... * Help the patient to the floor, and move away any furniture or anything they could injure themselves against. * DO NOT introduce anything into the patient's mouth to prevent biting of the tonge, you will do more damage and run the risk of breaking teeth which could impair the patient's breathing. * Turn patient onto their side once the seizure subsides, to prevent aspiration of saliva or vomit. * The patient may turn blue during extended seizures because they cannot breath. As the seizure subsides, make sure the patient starts to breath again. * Activate Emergency Medical Services as soon as possible. * Avoid putting a pillow under the patient's head, as this may tilt the head forward and further impair the patient's airway. * When the patient starts to awaken, he or she may be confused or combative.
