癫痫急救，我们错了很多年，至今还在坚持错误！

无论是报纸、电视、还是各种新兴自媒体，你都能够看到：对癫痫发作（抽羊角风）患者进行急救时，往患者嘴里塞东西，甚至是塞手指，把手指咬伤，媒体朋友还大声赞扬的报到。这两天微博中也有这方面的讨论。患者癫痫正在发作，到底应该怎么进行急救，我们真的错了很多年，至今还在坚持错误！今天我引用并翻译了美国CDC（http://www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/basics/first-aid.htm）网站中有关癫痫发作急救的一些内容供大家参考：

First aid for any type of seizure：对癫痫发作患者的急救措施：

There are many types of seizures. Most seizures end in a few minutes. These are general steps to help someone who is having any type seizure: 癫痫有很多种类型，大多数癫痫都几分钟之内结束，下面的方法是帮助所有癫痫患者的步骤：

• Stay with the person until the seizure ends and he or she is fully awake. After it ends, help the person sit in a safe place. Once they are alert and able to communicate, tell them what happened in very simple terms. 陪伴在患者身边直到癫痫发作结束患者完全清醒。癫痫结束之后帮助患者安全的休息。一旦患者清醒可以沟通，就用最简单的语言告诉患者发生了什么。

• Comfort the person and speak calmly. 安慰患者让患者保持冷静

• Check to see if the person is wearing or a medical bracelet or other emergency information. 检查患者是否携带有疾病信息手环。

• Keep yourself and other people calm. 保持自己和周围人处于冷静的状态。

• Offer to call a taxi or another person to make sure the person gets home safely. 确保患者能够安全的回家。

Knowing what NOT to do is important for keeping a person safe during or after a seizure. Never do any of the following things： 知道不应该做什么对患者的安全很重要，无论是患者癫痫发作时还是发作后。以下事项千万不要做：

• Do not hold the person down or try to stop his or her movements. 不要约束患者，不要试图让患者停止抽动。

• Do not put anything in the person's mouth. This can injure teeth or the jaw. A person having a seizure cannot swallow his or her tongue. 不要在患者嘴里放任何东西。这样做可能会损伤患者的牙齿和下颌。癫痫发作的患者不会咽下自己的舌头。（我认为这句话的意思就是患者不会咬掉自己的舌头）。

• Do not try to give mouth-to-mouth breaths (like CPR). People usually start breathing again on their own after a seizure. 不要进行口对口人工呼吸。癫痫停止之后患者大多会恢复自主呼吸。

• Do not offer the person water or food until he or she is fully alert. 在患者完全清醒之前不要给患者吃喝任何东西。

Call 911 if：出现如下情况时拨打911：

• The person has never had a seizure before.患者是第一次癫痫发作。

• The person has difficulty breathing or waking after the seizure. 患者癫痫发作结束之后呼吸困难或者不能恢复清醒。

• The seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes. 癫痫发作时间超过5分钟。

• The person has another seizure soon after the first one. 癫痫发作反复出现（停止后又发生）。

• The person is hurt during the seizure. 患者在癫痫发作的时候受伤。

• The seizure happens in water. 患者在水中癫痫发作。。

• The person has a health condition like diabetes, heart disease, or is pregnant. 患者有糖尿病、心脏病或者怀孕。
