What Is A Seizure?

A seizure is a sudden change in brain activity that can affect movement, awareness, behavior, or sensation. Seizures can have many causes, so evaluation is important even when symptoms improve.

When To Call 911 Or Go To The ER

Seek emergency care right away if a seizure:

  • Lasts longer than five minutes

  • Is the first seizure

  • Happens repeatedly without full recovery

  • Involves trouble breathing or choking

  • Causes injury

  • Occurs in water

  • Happens during pregnancy

  • Is accompanied by a high fever

  • Leaves the person difficult to wake or unusually confused

If you are unsure, it is safer to be evaluated.

What To Expect At iCare ER For Seizure Symptoms

When you arrive, our team focuses on rapid evaluation and stabilization. Depending on symptoms, this may include:

  • Vital signs and continuous monitoring

  • Oxygen support and airway support when needed

  • IV access and emergency medications when indicated

  • Lab testing to check for issues such as infection, blood sugar problems, and metabolic imbalance

  • Imaging or additional testing when clinically appropriate

  • Observation for recurrence, complications, or changes in mental status

Seizure symptoms can overlap with other serious conditions. That is why evaluation is important even if the seizure has stopped.

Stabilization And Hospital Transfer When Needed

As a freestanding emergency room, iCare can provide urgent stabilization and evaluation. If the patient needs inpatient hospitalization, specialty neurology care, or advanced monitoring, our physician will coordinate safe transfer to a hospital.

Our goal is to get the patient to the right level of care as quickly and safely as possible.
