Tonic-clonic seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical firing of the cerebral cortex. They are characterized by uncoordinated movements, drowsiness, and confusion.
Seizures are an unpleasant experience for both patients and nurses. Patients may report pain, strange tastes, and lights and spots in their vision. Seizure Alarm NZ If a seizure continues for more than five minutes, the patient is considered to be in an emergency.
After a seizure, nurses should conduct a neurological check on the patient. The examination should include the pulse, blood pressure, and ability to speak and perform simple commands.
During a tonic-clonic seizure, the patient may fall to the floor. This can lead to physical injury. Therefore, a pillow should be placed under the patient's head to reduce the risk of head injury.
Other precautions include keeping the bed in a low position and padding the bed's side rails. Nurses should also make sure that the patient is not left alone.
Patients at high risk for a tonic-clonic seizure should have adequate seizure precautions. These include a pillow, airway protection, and supplemental oxygen.
When a person is having a seizure, they should not leave the room. A family member or doctor should be present, and a nurse should remain with the patient until the seizure is over.
Once the seizures stop, nurses should assess the patient's breathing pattern, patent airway, and overall respiratory compromise. They should also ensure that the patient is alert, and that they are not choking.
