Seizure Management
Seizure management involves a series of steps to ensure the safety and well-being of an individual experiencing a seizure. This includes protecting the person from injury by moving objects away, placing them on their side to help with breathing, and timing the duration of the seizure. If the seizure lasts longer than five minutes, emergency medical assistance should be sought.
In addition to immediate care, long-term seizure management may include medications such as antiepileptic drugs to help control seizures. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and make necessary adjustments.
