In Kyiv, a truck driver fainted while driving due to an epileptic attack.

The instructor of the charity foundation “Solomyan cats” helped him, they say in the fund.

“Today there was an accident near our hub. The driver of the truck had epilepsy while on the road and lost consciousness.” – volunteers say.

The instructor of “Solomyansky Kotyk” Maksym broke into the car, stopped the traffic and helped the driver. The man’s condition was stabilized before the ambulance arrived.

“Every time we are convinced that a critical situation can happen at any moment. We must always be ready.

Master first aid skills, it’s important. Come to trainings”– urged “Solomyanski kotiki”.

We will remind you that epilepsy is a chronic disorder of brain activity, which is characterized by seizures, in particular, convulsions or fainting. Previously, the Ministry of Health explained how to act if you witnessed an epileptic attack in a person nearby.

First of all, you need to put a person in stable lateral positionrecord the time of seizure onset, place something soft under the head and hold it down to avoid injury.

Categorically can’t introduce foreign objects into a person’s mouth (and even more so pierce her tongue or try to pull it out with your hands).

Most attacks last no more than two minutes, so it is worth staying nearby and observing the person’s condition.
