Seizure First Aid. 

A series of images from www.epilepsyfoundation.org titled “Seziure First Aid” with a red cross next to each title. The text on each image shares first aid tips about seizures and are white on a black background, and the bottom of each image has orange text that reads “Join the Fight”. The first aid tips are:

•Keep calm and reassure other people who may be nearby.

•Don’t hold the person down or try to stop his or her movements.

•Time the seizure with your watch.

•Clear the area around the person of anything hard or sharp.

•Put something soft (like a folded sweatshirt) under their head.

•Do not try to force open their mouth with anything hard or your finger!

•Turn the person gently onto one side. This will help keep the airway clear.

•Stay with the person until the seizure has ended naturally.

•Be friendly and reassuring as conciousness returns.

•Offer to call a friend, relative, or taxi to help the person get home if they need assistance.
