First Aid: Seizure by Precious Hearts Nashville

 

A seizure is abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Most seizures stop within a few minutes. Epilepsy is the most common cause of seizures. Seizures may also be caused by:

  • Head injury
  • Low Blood Sugar
  • Heat-related injury
  • Poisons

Symptoms:

  • Lose muscle control
  • Fall to the ground
  • Jerk arms, legs, or other parts of the body
  • Stop responding

First Aid Steps:

During a seizure:

  1. Make sure the scene is safe.
  2. Protect the person by: moving furniture or other objects out of the way and placing a small pad/towel under his/her head if it is easy to do so.
  3. Have someone phone 911.

After a seizure:

  1. See if the person needs CPR.
  2. Stay with the person until a medical professional arrives.
  3. If the person is vomiting or has fluids in his mouth and doesn’t have a neck injury, roll them over.

My husband and I hired Precious Hearts to come teach us CPR in our home and we had a WONDERFUL experience! Grace is a fantastic teacher and we learned so much. She had all the proper equipment for us to get lots of practice, she gave lots of real-world examples, and overall she made the process really fun and positive. Our nanny came for the 2nd half of the class and she reviewed the CPR and choking rescue procedures with her as well. I sleep better at night knowing that we received great training and I would HIGHLY recommend Precious Hearts for anyone considering CPR training. Thank you Precious Hearts Team!
