At about 2017 February 14 15: 20, an old man in his 60s suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing all over and blisters in his mouth. The police on duty initially judged that the man was an epileptic. Hold the patient's right hand and put the patient in his hand according to the first aid method trained in the station. After three minutes, the patient gradually woke up. On the morning of February 24th, 20 16, a man suddenly fell into a coma due to convulsions and blistering near the Xincheng Gymnasium of Chongqing Airport. A taxi driver saw a passerby and quickly helped him to the side of the road. He found a wooden stick, broke the man's mouth and put it between his upper and lower teeth to prevent his tongue from being bitten. According to some first-aid methods seen on TV, the man's right hand was pinched. After 5 minutes, the patient gradually woke up and sat up.

On September 23rd, 2065438 18, on the flight from Kashgar to Urumqi, a passenger in his thirties had a seizure, was in a coma, foaming at the mouth, and his limbs were stiff. An enthusiastic passenger immediately rushed to the rescue site after hearing the broadcast, wrapped a stainless steel spoon with a towel, forcibly pried open the patient's teeth and put the spoon between them. According to reports, he inserted two toothpicks into Baihui point and Sishengcong point of the patient's head 4-5 mm deep. After five or six minutes, the patient slowly recovered.

In fact, from the perspective of the seizure itself, the seizure lasts for 3-5 minutes, which is a common recovery time for most patients, and it is not the result of pinching people, tying a hundred sticks and pinching tigers.

According to common news reports, when someone falls to the ground, twitches, foams at the mouth and loses consciousness, he will pinch others, pinch the tiger's mouth and even feed water. This also shows that the patient wakes up soon and seems to be very effective for pinching people. In addition, many so-called popular science and folk experiences on the Internet are often similar in content and are all false. These seemingly positive, simple and scientific methods. Unfortunately, it's all pseudoscience. Usually, it not only can't stop twitching, but also may lead to suffocation and injury. In addition, the patient's seizure stop is definitely not made by pinching the valley. Most epileptic patients need a few minutes to relieve themselves.

In fact, the wrong operation is likely to cause unnecessary harm to patients. In the human body, it is located at the midpoint of the nasolabial groove of the face and the junction of the upper third and the lower half of the upper labial groove, which has always been considered as the "key point of emergency syncope". Hukou, also known as Hegu point, is located between the first metacarpal bone and the second metacarpal bone (between thumb and forefinger) and the radial midpoint of the second metacarpal bone. In fact, using fingers to stimulate points such as Zhonghe and Hegu can prevent seizures. After long-term clinical observation, there is no definite curative effect. On the contrary, it is easy to pinch the skin and leave scars. In severe cases, it will even affect breathing, because pressing people will cause tight nose and mouth.

However, it is easy to cause mandibular fracture, temporomandibular joint dislocation, gum injury and tooth prying. Moreover, if the things in the patient's mouth are not strong enough, it is easy to be inhaled into the trachea by mistake, causing suffocation and death.

At the same time, please don't restrain epileptic limbs in a state of convulsion. Pressing convulsive hands and feet may cause injury. In Guangzhou, a father found his 6-year-old son convulsing all over his body, so he pressed his convulsive lower limbs hard, causing his thigh and femur to fracture and some acupoints to convulse all over his body. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, professional Chinese medicine is indisputable. However, due to the great rigidity and contractility of muscles during convulsion, some patients will have sprains when they attack, and a little carelessness may cause the acupuncture needle to break in the body, which will be very dangerous.

Then, in the absence of medical conditions, how to deal with the sudden attack of epileptic patients? More than 90% of epileptic seizures can be relieved naturally within 5 minutes, so it is a good practice for patients to keep calm, lie flat in time, tilt their heads slightly back to one side and let them smoke quietly for a few minutes. You can also lie on your side and put something soft on your head, but don't carry it on the bed, table or platform to avoid falling. If there are secretions in the mouth, they should be removed in time to avoid suffocation caused by lung infection and inhalation. The collar is too tight, you can loosen it. Evacuate people who eat melons around to avoid affecting ventilation. It is very helpful to observe the details of patients' convulsions and inform the doctors who come to treat them in time. When the patient wakes up, the response is relatively slow. Don't drink water or take medicine to avoid blocking the trachea.
