Emergency
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain, resulting in abnormal physical and mental behaviors. It can manifest as convulsions, muscle spasms, loss of consciousness, and altered sensations. Epilepsy is a common cause of recurrent seizures, and immediate first aid involves ensuring safety and offering support.
Shock is a critical medical condition where the body's vital organs receive inadequate blood flow and oxygen. It can result from severe injuries, infections, or other medical emergencies. Symptoms include rapid pulse, shallow breathing, confusion, and pale skin. Immediate medical attention is crucial to stabilize the patient and address the underlying cause.
Choking occurs when a foreign object obstructs a person's airway, impeding their ability to breathe. Common causes include food, small toys, or other objects. It can be life-threatening, and the Heimlich maneuver, a series of abdominal thrusts, is often used to dislodge the obstruction. Prompt action is essential to prevent severe consequences.
