seizure protocols

Seizure protocols involve clear steps to ensure safety and proper care during a seizure. First, stay calm and gently guide the person away from danger, cushioning their head and removing nearby objects. Do not restrain their movements or put anything in their mouth. Turn the person onto their side if possible to keep the airway clear. Time the seizure—if it lasts longer than 5 minutes or multiple seizures occur, seek emergency help. After the seizure, support their recovery, monitor breathing, and offer reassurance. Always seek medical advice for ongoing or unusual seizure activity.
