Avoid injury.: Make sure that pt.Does not hurt himself, do not try to insert spoon in mouth, if possible turn head to one side without hurting pt. A good description of seizure from the beginning until pt. Is fully conscious with timing will help a doctor more than testing.

Less is best: Make certain to protect against injury. If possible, prevent pt from colliding against nearby objects. Perhaps gently reposition if necessary. Do not stick objects into the mouth, even if jaw spasms, as these will pass. Most pts do not suffocate, so do not worry about brief breathing disruption. Do not restrain if all of the above is stable. Best approach is to prevent the sz.
