When you are watching an epileptic attack you should stay very calm and try not to panic. >You shouldn’t place a finger or other object into the person's mouth to protect or straighten the tongue--it is unnecessary and dangerous. >Don't perform artificial respiration during a seizure, even if the person is turning blue. Most seizures are over long before brain damage from lack of oxygen begins. >You shouldn’t try to hold the person still because you may injure the individual or yourself. >If the person has vomited, you should roll the person on side so that any fluid can easily flow out of mouth and not obstruct breathing. >If the person has a seizure may not hear you. >Don’t give the person anything to eat or drink until the person is fully recovered. >Don't give person medication by mouth until the seizure has stopped and he or she is completely awake and alert. >You should be calmly reassuring. >Stay with the person until recovery is complete. >You should maintain a patent airway, note frequency, type, time, involved body parts, and length of seizure. >It is important to monitor vital signs and neurologic status. >A person with epilepsy should wear a Medic-Alert tag.
