Status epilepticus (SE) is a medical emergency characterized by prolonged or repeated back-to-back seizures lasting longer than five minutes, occurring without full recovery of consciousness between seizures, muscle rigidity, convulsions, and breathing difficulties. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention and can occur in people of all ages but is more common in children and older adults. https://lnkd.in/dCtkpXnA #children #olderadults #agegroups #riskgroups #knowthesigns #actfast #seekhelp #earlyintervention #emergencymedicalservices #seizureawareness #epilepsycommunity #brainawareness #neurodiversity

Giving birth is a complex, dynamic, and impactful experience for all birthing people. For many, it is also their first time engaging on a large scale with the medical system. The months leading up to birth, during birth, and after birth, are often a time of increased intervention by the medical system. Alongside this shift in autonomy frequently comes trauma, and it's reported that 20% to 68.6% of birthing people experience Birth Trauma.

Empowering Kids: Talking About Sudden Cardiac Arrest Having tough conversations with kids is a delicate balance, but it's important to equip them with knowledge, even about serious topics. Here's how I used a relatable analogy to explain sudden cardiac arrest to my 6-year-old son: Me: "Honey, have you ever heard of sudden cardiac arrest?" Son: (Shakes head) "What's that?" Me: "It's kind of like a surprise trip for your heart. Normally, our hearts work really hard pumping blood throughout our body, just like a strong muscle sending energy everywhere." Son: "Like a train delivering presents!" Me: (Smiling) "Exactly! But in cardiac arrest, the heart's electrical system gets confused and forgets how to pump properly. This means blood isn't reaching the important parts of your body, which can be dangerous." Son: "Oh no! How do we help?" Me: "That's a great question! If someone seems very sick and isn't waking up, it's important to call a grown-up right away. They can call for help and give CPR, which is like jumpstarting a car for your heart. It helps get the blood pumping again until doctors arrive." Key Takeaway: Kids are capable of understanding more than we give them credit for. By using simple language and relatable examples, we can empower them with knowledge and prepare them to act in an emergency. #SuddenCardiacArrestAwareness #KidsHealth #EmpoweringChildren #safeCanada #AEDAwarenessInSchools P.S.
