Sudden loss of consciousness accompanied by convulsions, i.e., an "epileptic seizure," requires calm handling of the victim.

• Do not try to fight them, protect their head and wait for the convulsions to subside spontaneously.
• After the seizure has subsided, it is advisable to have the patient examined by a doctor.

During the seizure:

1. Secure the surroundings: Remove hard, sharp objects (furniture, glass) within the person's reach.  
   
   
2. Secure the head: Place something soft (jacket, sweatshirt, scarf) under the head to prevent impact.  
   
   
3. Do not put anything in their mouth.
   
   
4. Loosen any constrictions: Loosen ties, collars, jewelry around the neck.  
   
   

After the seizure:

1. Place the person in the recovery position: Gently roll them onto their side to clear their airway.
   
   
2. Monitor breathing: Make sure the person is breathing freely, gently lifting their jaw if necessary.
   
   
3. Cover them: Cover the person with a blanket or clothing if it is cold.
   
   
4. Stay with the person: Do not leave them alone until they are fully conscious and ready to get up.
