Prompt Procedures Have a Great Impact on the Consequences of Asiatic Black Bear Mauling.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the severity and mortality rate following bear-inflicted injuries are not high, these encounters usually take place in remote rural areas, so a delay in rescue and proper care can lead to the incident becoming fatal. Hence, early decisions and arrangements for patient transportation to a tertiary care center and prompt measures to save lives will have a positive impact on the consequences of such incidents.
