Which of the following is important during the transport of a child with seizures?

Keeping the airway clear is crucial during the transport of a child who has experienced seizures for several reasons. During a seizure, there is a risk of airway obstruction due to the child's inability to maintain their own airway, especially if they are still postictal (after the seizure) or unconscious. Secretions or vomitus may also pose a threat to airway patency. It's essential for healthcare providers to ensure that the airway is clear to prevent aspiration and facilitate breathing, given the potential for respiratory compromise following a seizure.

Monitoring vital signs, such as blood pressure, while important in a broader sense, takes a secondary priority to ensuring the airway is secure during and immediately after a seizure. Administering oxygen is necessary, but it must be in conjunction with maintaining a clear airway for effective delivery. Adequate restraints may be considered in certain contexts, but they are not a primary focus during transport in the case of managing the immediate aftermath of a seizure. Thus, ensuring the airway is clear becomes a paramount concern in ensuring the child's safety and well-being during transport.
