Webinar: Understanding Seizures and Epilepsy in Hydrocephalus: Risks, Triggers, and First Aid

Join Erin Fecske, DNP, APRN, CNRN, CPNP-PC, FAES, as she explores the complexities of seizures and epilepsy in individuals with hydrocephalus. This webinar will cover a wide range of important topics, including:

• The relationship between hydrocephalus types (e.g., Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH) vs. congenital) and the risk of seizures.
• Understanding the risks of seizures in hydrocephalus, including the potential long-term outcomes.
• Identifying different types of seizures and the signs to watch for, such as staring, clonic movements, and other seizure behaviors.
• Exploring whether seizures can be a symptom of a shunt malfunction and how shunt issues might increase the risk of seizures.
• The role of environmental factors, such as heat sensitivity, in triggering seizures, particularly during the summer months.
• The impact of hormonal changes on seizure risk in individuals with hydrocephalus.

Additionally, the session will provide essential information on seizure first aid and strategies for managing seizure risks effectively.

We look forward to your participation in this informative and supportive discussion.
