Snake Bite Envenomation in a Tertiary Care Centre.

Conclusions: Patients requiring various supportive treatments like blood transfusion, Inotropes, Haemodialysis and Mechanical ventilation, had a statistically significant correlation with poor outcome. Early administration of ASV that is within 4 hours was, associated with better outcome. The total amount of ASV (in vials) had no a significant correlation with outcome. Snakebite Severity Score correlates significantly with early recovery in vasculotoxic snake bites (p=0.03). PMID: 30341870 [PubMed - in process]
