If a child in front of you had a seizure in the first place, do not panic and try to bring to assist someone else who has close relatives, neighbors, passers-by medical personnel and so forth.
Remember (or write down) the time when it started a fit (seizure), how many there were and duration of seizures (fits), how the fit was shown that a child strained, twitching, convulsions beater arm, leg (which side), head, eyes, face, whole body, etc. these data will need a doctor to determine the further evaluation plan and treatment.
Plan your future actions as follows:
call "ambulance";
Lay the baby on a flat, hard surface (floor, couch, couch) in the "recovery position" so that the head and chest were on the same line; To do this, lay down next to the baby blanket, blanket, coat. Further, on one side of the body of the child pull the leg along the body and arm up, and on the opposite side of the bend your arm at the elbow and knee. Then it all just take a child for a bent at the elbow, arm and leg behind the knee and simultaneously pulls. The third bend both arms at the elbow and one hand put under his head.
Lay the child so that he could not accidentally roll over and fall off, remove and objects around about who can hit, do not leave it unattended;
undo (or remove, cut) tight clothing, which can compress the chest or abdomen;
ventilate the room, the temperature should not be above 20 C;
Do not hold the baby by force from cramps, not the expandable jaws, not pour water into the mouth, do not put a spoon, finger, remember, your job is only to protect the child from additional secondary injuries, so if seizures continue a pillow, blanket, jacket under that part of the body that fights in convulsions and can be traumatized;
at the end of the attack the child may be long-term (up to 2 hours) in a state of deep sleep, without having to bother the child, to raise, to lay in bed, make sure that his mouth was not blood, vomit large amounts of saliva, if necessary, remove all is wound on a 2 finger bandage, gauze or cloth, and check breathing and pulse, and leave the baby in a stable position on its side before coming "Ambulance".
If the child for the first time developed a convulsive episode did not refuse hospitalization. The survey, which we wrote above, it is more convenient and more rational will spend it in a hospital.
