i'll be taking care of some1 next to epilepsy(at work) and i may need to do it. i'll be trained, but im a bit worried around it.Not because im squeemish, but i'd be worried about doing it wrong! Any counsel? What should i be prepared 4?

Answer:
Don't worry, if your trained there's not that much that can jump wrong.

Some people who own epileptic convulsions can develop the condition of status epilepticus, basically this is fit after fit and can become vivacity threatening.

It is usually rectal diazepam that is prescribed for this condition and it comes within the form of a suppository. Administered in this approach absorbtion is very nippy.

As for what Belfus has stated above, you don't own a clue what your talking around, an intramuscular injection would never be considered in this luggage, not only for the transparent reason of the possibility of cause damage to the forgiving but when diazepam is administered as an intramuscular injection, absorption is slow (15 to 30 minutes), erratic and incomplete.
