why isn't artificial respiration recommended for individuals undergoing seizures?
about a year ago, my girlfriend had a tonic-clonic seizure, i'd never seen one and i didn't know what to do. i put her on the ground and moved stuff away but unfortunately i kept her on her back and saliva pooled in her mouth probably. she went cyanotic and i didn't record the time when she started seizing but it felt like 4 or 5 minutes. maybe it was only like 3 minutes.
she had labored breathing and snoring type stuff afterwards, and i carried her to the car and brought her to the ER. ran tests, MRIs, and shit and she was fine but i've been feeling really guilty about it ever since.
i failed to put her in the recovery position, and she may have had brain damage from failure to clear her airway. i knew what the recovery position was, i just didn't really think about it outside of like, a blackout drunk. i also could have done mouth-to-nose resuscitation, but i didn't think to do it either.
why is it that mouth-to-nose resuscitation is not recommended in this case? to me, it seems like it wouldn't do any harm, and you could at least force fresh air into the lungs (which is being forced out by the diaphragm contractions). the heart is still pumping, after all. why is it just recommended to put them in the recovery position?
this is the only article i've seen talking about it, and it's from 1961.
