Today we're talking about how to deal with snakebites
But first, subscribe to the channel to start your day every day with new information
If you are stung by a venomous snake, call the emergency number immediately,
as many emergency rooms stock anti-poison medicines that can help you.
If possible, follow these steps while waiting for medical help:
1-Get past the snake bite distance.
2-Stay calm and help slow the spread of the toxin.
3-Remove jewelry and tight clothing from the area before it begins to swell.
4-If possible, be in a position such that the sting is at or below the level of your heart and do not
raise the affected limb above the level of the head as this helps the venom spread rapidly.
5-Clean the wound with soap and water. Cover it with a clean, dry bandage.
Attention
Do not use pressure bands or ice.
Do not open the wound or try to suck out the poison.
Do not drink caffeine or alcoholic beverages, as they can speed up the body's absorption of toxins.
Do not try to catch the snake.
Try to remember its color and shape so that you can describe it,
this is what will help you treat it or photograph it with your phone
If the snake is killed, do not touch it, as it can inject poison even after its death for 90 minutes.
In-hospital treatment:
In the hospital, the case is dealt with according to the recognized first aid priorities,
including checking the airway, oxygen, pressure and blood circulation.
Whether a patient needs to take anti-venom serum is determined by case and by type of snake.
The site of the bite is cleaned, any foreign bodies are removed,
and the patient is given the anti-tetanus needle if he has not been vaccinated within the past five years.
If the patient is not given the anti-venom serum, it must be monitored for 12 hours.
If no symptoms occur during this period, the snake is often not poisonous or it did not inject the poison into the patient’s body.
