What should i do if someone has an anaphylaxis, asthmatic or epileptic attack?


For a TAFE module, I have to write a report about three types of fits or attacks. I've found a lot of information about each but not found anything to tell me what, as an everyday member of the community, I should do if placed in the situation where someone was affected and I had to help. I am studying to become a teachers aid. Anything anyone could tell me or web addresses i can go to would be greatly appreciated.

no not all at once, that would be a disaster and if all three occured at the same time you'd want to pray for a miracle!!
Thanks a lot for the answers and all the help.

when i get mad my kids call it a fit,they fix it by leaving me alone.but in your case,a student at school has a sz.lay them down as soon as you notice (most of the time they fall before anyone can catch them)support the head to keep it from hitting the floor.move chairs and things out of the way so they don't get hurt by thrashing around , if you can keep them on their side thats what you need to do to keep drainage from choking them, do not try to open their mouth or put some thing in it to keep them from biting their tongue , they might bite you .never try to give them water or medication.if they are diagnosed with sz. that occure often , just call mom or dad not an ambulance, unless ts a very sever sz.or they get hurt ,make sure up time how long it lasted and if they soled or wet their self , move the other children out of sight immeadiatly , leave the person with as much dignity as you can, the other kids do not need to see or hear the sz.or know that the person was incontinit of urin or stool, they will be very tired and sleepy so they will need to go home , they will act drugged or in a stupor ,kinda lazy.remember stay cool and calm and never leave the person untill they are fully awake.this needs to be documented , so the parents and dr. can follow up , may need to increase their sz. medication.

Asthmatic attack:
The person can communicate usually and you should ask if they have medicine. They may have a pill or an inhaler. If the cause of the attack is removable, like a cat, remove the cause. If they do not have medication, ask if they wish to be taken to the doctor.

Anaphylactic Shock:
I don't believe they can be communicated with. You may need to transport them immediately to their doctor or the emergency room.

Epileptic Attack:
google this and I think you'll find information on how to respond to epileptic attacks. I believe you are to stay by them and make sure they don't hurt themselves, but there's little you can do during the attack. They need to go to the doctor when it's over.

Call an ambulance, straight away. Call out for help, from other staff and check the patient is breathing, etc.
