Emergency Care: Seizures and Strokes

Question 1 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

In which situations would you call 9-1-1 for a seizure?

Answer
A
The seizure lasts one minute.
B
The person having the seizure is pregnant.
C
The person is breathing and conscious after the seizure
D
The person suffered a head injury during the seizure.

Explanation

Call 9-1-1 if the person having a seizure is pregnant or has suffered a head injury during it. A seizure lasting one minute, by itself, does not meet the usual emergency time threshold; call if it lasts about five minutes or longer. Being breathing and conscious after the seizure is reassuring, though the person should still be monitored and cared for.
