Seizures
Sudden disruption of the brain's normal electrical activities by injury, disease, fever, or infection can cause a seizure (convulsion). Persons with a chronic condition called EPILEPSY are usually controlled by medication but may have a seizure at times. Those persons often will have an AURA before the seizure and tell you what is going to occur.
An AURA can be:
- A strange sound, smell, or taste
- An unusual sensation or feeling or a visual hallucination
A Seizure can be:
- A mild blackout
- Uncontrolled muscular contractions lasting several minutes
What to Do:
- Do not restrain or hold person
- Do not place anything between the victim's teeth
- Remove any nearby objects that might cause injury
- Cushion the victim's head using folded clothing or a small pillow
- Call Campus Police at 8-2323
- Stay with victim until medical help arrives. The victim may be confused and disoriented when the seizure is over
