Seizure is described as the involuntary movement of the body. It can be due to different kinds of conditions as stated in the video but mostly due to Epilepsy.
The first step is to remove all the dangers surrounding the casualty such as tables or chairs close to the person as he may hit it with his limbs during the seizure and he may injure himself.
Note the time of start of the seizure.
At any moment, never restrict the movement of the person and do not put anything in his mouth.
Loosen tight closing and place soft objects or your hands below the persons head so that he does not hit the floor during the seizure.
The seizure will automatically stop in around 5 minutes. Note the stop time of the seizure.
Open the airway of the person by tilting his head and putting his chin down and check breathing.
Then, put the person in recovery position.
Before 10 minutes, the person will get up and gaze at you. You will then need to explain to him that you assisted him during his seizure.
Now it is not important to call for Medical Assistance in this case unless the person has got injured during the seizure, if it was the first time the person experience this or if the seizure had a duration of more than 5 minutes.
