Vein finder use with Epileptic patients

Epilepsy is a neurological illness in which brain activity becomes aberrant, resulting in seizures or episodes of odd behaviour, feelings, and even loss of awareness.

Indeed, Epilepsy means the same thing as “seizure disorders.” It is characterized by unpredictable seizures and can cause other health problems.

Seizures in epilepsy may be caused by brain damage or a genetic predisposition, although the reason is frequently unclear.

There are several reasons you might have a seizure. These include:

• high fever
• head trauma
• very low blood sugar
• alcohol withdrawal

What are the signs and symptoms of Seizure?

Because epilepsy is caused by aberrant brain activity, seizures can disrupt any process that your brain coordinates. Here are a few instances of seizure signs and symptoms:

• Temporary confusion
• A staring spell
• Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs
• Loss of consciousness or awareness
• Psychic symptoms such as fear, anxiety or deja vu

In such cases, as well as in others, such as patients with special needs (disabled) who suffer from epilepsy, vein finders are unquestionably life-saving, particularly in the setting of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), including ambulance services, where there is no time to waste on unsuccessful injections, especially when the medical staff/nurses are doing everything they can to relieve the patients’ pain.

The Portable Infrared Vein Finder: SIFVEIN-5.0, for example, can provide a real-time projection of blood veins on the skin surface. It has a lightweight construction that makes it incredibly comfortable to carry.

SIFVEIN-5.0 help doctors and nurses easily find veins of various patients, such as obese, hairy or dark skin patients, etc. It highly increases the success rate of puncture thus reduces the cost and pain.

Using vein finders dramatically decreases worry and tension, as well as the time spent hunting for adequate intravenous access. In some circumstances, such as with epileptic patients, vein finders make it possible for physicians to quickly access veins. Most significantly, medications may be administered without the need of general anaesthetic, which is safer and less stressful for medical staff, patients, and families.
