What is the most suitable intervention for a patient who experiences a seizure lasting around 1 minute?

In the context of managing a seizure that lasts around 1 minute, the most appropriate intervention is the administration of a fast-acting benzodiazepine, such as Valium (Diazepam), via IV. Benzodiazepines are commonly used in emergency settings to quickly stop seizures due to their rapid onset of action. In this case, administering Valium not only acts quickly to terminate the seizure but also helps to prevent recurrence, particularly if the patient has a history of prolonged seizures or status epilepticus.

Choosing to perform CPR would not be appropriate for a seizure unless the patient is found to be pulseless or unresponsive after the seizure has ended, since the primary issue is the seizure itself, not cardiac arrest at that moment.
