First Aid First: Seizures

This video will teach you what to do--and what NOT to do--if you suspect someone is having a seizure.

If you believe that there is a medical emergency, don’t hesitate to call 911!

Wayne State University School of Medicine students, in collaboration with Detroit Medical Center (DMC) emergency medicine physicians and in line with AHA guidelines, created the First Aid First video series to help broader populations learn about in-home health safety and response solutions that could save lives.

Be prepared before emergencies happen with First Aid First.

One thing I should bring up to you all: swallowing your tongue is not physically possible. It's a myth.

My daughter has drug resistant epilepsy with daily seizures and intellectual retardation since infancy. I have seen different types of seizures in her.
I assume the video was made for educational purposes?
A few tips:
1. The guy who shows a grand mal seizure needs to try harder to make it look really realistic;
2. During a convulsion, the patient must turn to the side so as not to inhale saliva or blood, which can only be done at the beginning of the seizure, before the tonic phase, because subsequently the patient tightens up a lot and this becomes almost impossible!;
3. During the seizure shouldn't it be put a fingerings in the mouth of the person who has fainted! His mouth turns blue because the root of the tongue obstructs the trachea and its head must be gently pulled back;
4. After the convulsion, the person is left again in a lateral position to rest.
5. If the person is known to have epilepsy, it is completely unnecessary to call 911 unless the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or is followed by a second seizure.

It is commendable that he is trying to educate the public, keep it up and good luck.
