2020年1月22日 · Epilepsy patients should go to sleep in a supine or lateral position to reduce their SUDEP risk. Most patients who die from sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) are found in the prone position. We evaluated whether changes in body position occur during generalized convulsive seizures (GCSs).

The recovery position 1. Kneel on the floor to one side of the person. 3. Gently pick up their other hand with your palm against theirs (palm to palm). Turn any rings inward to avoid scratching their face. Now place the back of their hand onto their opposite cheek (for example, against their left cheek if it is their right hand).

Seizures in prone position occur during sleep and the highest risk for postictal prone positioning appears to be being in the prone position at GCS onset. Epilepsy patients should therefore be advised to go to sleep in a supine or lateral position to reduce their SUDEP risk.

Move their bent leg that is nearest to you, in front of their body so that it is resting on the floor. This position will help to balance them. it is the person’s first seizure; they have injured themselves badly; they have trouble breathing after the seizure has stopped;

After a generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS), an unattended and unresponsive patient will likely end up in either a face-up or a face-down position. While face-up may indeed risk aspiration, face-down risks suffocation. The risk for aspiration is relatively low, but it may be difficult to influence in the absence of peri-ictal supervision.

Most victims of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) are found prone with signs suggestive of an unwitnessed convulsive seizure (CS). Prone sleeping has been proposed as a risk factor for SUDEP. Little is known, however, about the change of …

At seizure onset, positions included supine (48.2 %), right lateral (19.0 %), left lateral (15.6 %), sitting or standing (14.0 %), and prone (3.2 %). Between seizure onset and the start of generalization, 57.5 % of participants altered body positions.

2020年1月14日 · Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy commonly occurs unwitnessed during sleep, in bed, and patients are commonly found in the prone position. The circumstances surrounding SUDEP are remarkably similar to those of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) [4].

Head and truncal positions (left and right lateral, supine, sitting, prone) at seizure onset and offset, before and after nurse interventions were recorded. Post-ictal postural changes and evidence of stertorous respirations were also recorded.
