As seizures are a result of inapropriate electrical impulses in the brain, and a blue tongue is indicative of a lack of oxygen, there are a few senarios.
Depending on the part of the brain that is affected by the seizure:
Has she stopped breathing? Look for chest movement. If none, the ability to breathe could be temporarily halted by the seizure. Be ready to give mouth to snout breathing.
Has her heart stopped? Begin chest compressions.
Is her airway clear? If no, use an infant nasal aspirator to clear nostrils.
Continue life support until seizure activity ceases.
Eventually the seizure will stop, and breathing and heartrate should return to normal. It wouldn't hurt to have a valium on hand, crushed, to rub on her gums if seizure activity gets worse (more body functions fail) or lasts too long. |
