Emergecny Approach to Snakebite

Access to early, equipped medical care for snake bites is crucial. Suspected snakebite victims need prompt transportation to a health facility and should avoid traditional treatments. Improving outcomes requires quick IV access, hydration assessment, vital sign monitoring, and timely antivenom administration. Early antivenom use can save lives, reduce suffering, and speed up recovery, but many patients lack timely access to antivenom. This delay can lead to prolonged illness, slow recovery, and increased disability risks. Additional support like breathing assistance or clotting issue management may be necessary depending on the type of snake venom.
