Do remember to not to try to lift someone while still in the convulsion phase of the attack (up to 2 mins)- the airways is closed and they'll embolise.
Agreed. Which brings up an interesting point: Buddy seizes,wait until he breathes again.If you only have one gas then the only thing to breathe is the gas that just brought on the seizure,not a good situation at all.
If the seizure was brought on by,say,switching to 100% O2 at 70 feet at least you have a low O2 gas to breathe (backgas)
I pretty much figure that if I ever tox on a dive then for all practical purposes I am dead.
