Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I have been told anything longer than 40 minutes can cause brain damage. I have also been told that you want to be trying to stop the seizure by 10 minutes. Supposedly if it goes any longer it becomes more difficult to stop. I know each child is different but this is what we have been told in regards to Wyatt's seizures. We may have been told this because within 2 minutes of a seizure starting Wyatt begins to turn blue and we need to turn on his oxgyen.
