When Brains Short-Circuit: The EMS Guide to Seizure Chaos
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Seizures don’t follow the rules—and in the prehospital setting, neither can you. Join Dr. Maika Dang, Emergency Medicine Physician and EMS Medical Director, as he unpacks the unpredictable world of seizure emergencies in this dynamic and engaging webinar.
From subtle partial seizures to full-blown status epilepticus, EMS providers are often the first on scene during some of the most chaotic moments in a patient’s life. This course goes beyond textbook definitions to provide real-world guidance on:
-Recognizing and managing different seizure types in the field
-Critical decision-making in prolonged or recurrent seizures
-Differentiating seizure mimics from true neurologic events
-Best practices for airway, medication, and transport considerations
-Post-ictal challenges and when “something doesn’t feel right”
Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned medic, this webinar will sharpen your seizure scene management skills and prepare you for the next time a brain "short-circuits."
Don’t miss it—this is seizure care for the chaos you actually face.
