Seizures Explained Visually Every Medical Student Must Know!

it is important to pair recognition with safe response. For absence and myoclonic episodes, avoid interrupting abruptly and note timing, triggers and frequency for the clinician. For atonic and tonic-clonic events, protect from injury, avoid putting anything in the mouth, time the event, turn to recovery position when jerking stops if breathing is present, and seek emergency care for prolonged seizures over 5 minutes, repeated seizures, injury, breathing difficulty or first ever event. Your note about helmet use in the atonic clip is relevant for those with frequent drop events.

Nice visuals. Most people only picture the big tonic-clonic ones, so showing the subtler types helps.

Good one Thank youu Dr
