What Causes Seizures And Sudden Loss Of Breath And Consciousness?

admit in icu and placed in breathing machine
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I will advise you to place your daughter on one side and stay with the child until he or she is fully awake after the seizure ends.
Observe her for breathing
If she or she is not breathing within 1 minute after the seizure stops, then start mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing (CPR).
Do not try to do rescue breathing for the child during a convulsive seizure, because you may injure the child or yourself.
Do not try to put anything in your daughters mouth. In doing so, you may injure her.
Do not try to give her food, liquid, or medications by mouth.
If your daughter has status epilepticus and and as she is not breathing she needs to be treated very aggressively with antiseizure medications, admitted to the intensive care unit, and possibly be placed on a breathing machine.

DR DE
