• 1) Neuro Toxic – Nag ( Cobra) & Manyar
(common Krait)
• 2) Haemotoxic or Vasculotoxic – Ghonas (
Russels viper ) & Furse ( Saw scaled
Viper)
Cobra & common krait

Difference of Poisonous
& Non Poisonous
Sr,No Poisonous Non Poisonous
1 Head Scales – Small Head Scales – Large
2 Body scales -- Large Body scales – small or moderate
3 Tail - Compressed Not so
4 Nocturnal Not so
5 Bite mark – 2 Fang marks No fang marks
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 7
Poisonous Snakes –Special
Anatomical featurs • 1) All poisonous snakes have broad
ventral plates on the belly that extend right
across.
• 2) All poisonous snakes have 2 fangs,
which really are 2 prominent teeth besides
many other small teeth.
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 8
Poisonous & Non Poisonous –
Head Scales
Poisonous & Non Poisonous -
Body Scales
After bite of Snake
• 1) A patient bitten by a poisonous snake
will always complain of pain over the bitten
area.
• 2) Two fang marks are always seen. The
shape of an inverted U (∩).
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 11
After bite of Snake
• 3) Bite by poisonous snake should not be
considered as serious poisoning every
time, because the poison glands of the
snake at the time of the bite might have
been empty.
• Also even a thin layer of clothing usually
gives great protection.
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 12
After bite of Snake
• 4) Many times fright and panic leads to
fainting.
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 13
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 14
Watch Symptoms
• 1) Elapids Neurotoxic – Cobra or Krait
• Local – Mild Burning ,Triple Response i.e redness, swelling,inflammation
• Systemic – Vomiting, Giddiness, Ptosis ,Difficulty in speaking & swalowing, Staggering gait ,Difficult respiration, Difficulty in motor Activities like hand & leg movements, spreading paralysis ( ascending from lower limbs), convulsions ,death may results within minutes or several hours due to respiratory failure
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 15
Watch Symptoms
• 2) From Russell’s & saw scaled Vipers - Haemotoxic Symptoms – Local symptoms are more severe like Intense pain,swelling,Cellulitis,Ozzing of bloody serum & formation of blisters & necrosis
• Systemic – Vomiting, Unconsciousness, Intravascular haemolysis, Epistaxsis, Haematuria, Haemetemesis, Bleeding under skin like Petechiae, Bleeding from orifices ,Hypotension.Death result from cardiovascular shock or renal failure
2 types of Snake Poison
• 3 stages can be seen in Paralytic Type
• Stage 1 – Ptosis
• Stage 2 – Difficulty in Swallowing
• Stage 3 – Difficulty in Respiration ,
Paralysis
2 types of Snake Poison
• Haemolytic Type
• Local swelling around the bite appears
quickly
• Blood collected in bulb does not clot
Symptoms of Snake Bite
Snake Bite
Signs of Poisoning
• 2 puncture marks ,3/4th to 1 cm apart can
be of Poisonous snake bite
When person can die ?
• 1) After bite of Elapidae –20 min to 6 hrs
• 2) After bite of Viperine – 2 to 4 days
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 21
Snake Bite Management
Snake Bite Management
• 1) Snake bites should be treated as
wounds. Antibiotics is given for secondary
infection and Inj. Tetanus toxoid.
• 2) If the patient is completely alright 6-8
hours after the bite, he is usually out of
danger.
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 23
Snake Bite Management
• To Slow the absorption and spread of the
poison:
• 1) Patient is prevented from walking. Bitten limb
is immobilized, preferably in a splint.
• 2) Strip of cloth or handkerchief or a rubber
tourniquet should applied a few cms. above the
bitten area. Be released every 15 minutes for a
period of one minute.
• 3) Tourniquet should not be too tight .It is just to
occlude venous & lymphatic return
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 24
Snake Bite Management
• 4) Ice should be applied to and around the bitten
area.
• 5) Immobilize the part .Because movements can
cause more absorption of poison
Snake Bite Management
• 4) The wound and the incision can be
washed with very dilute solution of
potassium permanganate.
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 26
Snake Bite Management
• When there are No signs of Poison –
• Tab Diazepam – 1 tab stat as a
Tranquilizer
• Tab Paracetamol – As Analgesic
Wait & Watch for min 6 hours
• Look following signs of Poisoning
• 1) Ptosis
• 2) Local swelling
• 3) Dysphagia
• 4) Difficulty in breathing
Snake Bite Management
• In Paralytic Type –
• If Ptosis or Dysphagia develops ,take
immediate action
• If GP & do not have ASV – shift to
appropriate hospital
• Respiratory Paralysis is an Emergency
Snake Bite Management
• Neutralize the poison by --
1)Injection of anti venom. Most effective if
administered within 1 to 4 hours of the
bite.
2) Old Thought -- Sensitivity tests must be
done. If the patient is not sensitive, 5cc. of
the serum should be injected locally
around the wound. Avoid local infiltration
into a finger or a toe
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 30
Snake Bite Management
• ASV vial contains powder. Dissolve in 10 ml of sterile
water for injection.
• Give ½ cc IV as Test Dose .Watch for 2 min for Urticaria
• If no allergy ,inject Full dose
• New Thought in 2014 -- Sensitivity tests are no longer
recommended because they are unreliable and may
even lead to sensitisation of patient before the actual
therapeutic dose.
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Manufactured by Vins Bioproducts Limited
Survey no 117 Thimmapur (V)
509325,Kothur (Mandal) ,Mahaboobnagar
( Dist) ,Andhra Pradesh,India
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Each 1 ml of has capacity of specifically
neutralising the venom of following
species of Snake
• O.60 mg of dried Indian Cobra venom
• 0.45 mg of dried common Krait Venom
• 0.60 mg of dried Russell’s viper venom
• 0.45 mg of dried Saw scaled Viper
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Reconstituted antivenin is administered as
soon as possible ,if clear cut signs or
symptoms of envenomation are evident
Snake Venom Antiserum
• It can be administered in 2 ways
• 1) Intravenous injections – Reconstituted
antivenin is administered by slow
intravenous injection ( 1 to 2 ml per
minute)
• 2) Infusion – Reconstituted antivenin is
diluted in isotonic saline or glucose
solution ( 5 to 10 ml per kg body weight)
Snake Venom Antiserum
• At present there is no simple method to
measure the amount of circulating venom
in the body.
• So dose of Antivenin can not be accurately
recommended
• The dose also depends on the type of
snake bite & severity of envenomation
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Presentation – Snake venom antiserum IP
is supplied as freeze dried powder in glass
vials .Sterile water for Injection IP is
supplied in 10 ml vials
• The antivenin is also supplied as 10 ml
liquid in glass vials
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Disposal – Left over antivenin & used
empty vials should be discarded as
biomedical waste
Snake Venom Antiserum
• 2 vials are usually injected directly by IV
route slowly ( 1 to 2 ml per minute) &
taking care of sensitivity reaction
• 2 more vials are given after half an hour to
one hour ,if the symptoms of
envenomation persists.
• Further dose can be given with IV fluids,till
envenomation symptoms subside
Snake Venom Antiserum
• The patient should be closely monitored
for 2 hours
• Local administration of antivenin in or
around the bite site is ineffective ,painful &
may raise intra compartmental pressure
particularly in digits .So not recommended
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Antivenin Reactions – Anaphylaxis is life
threatening .
• Anaphylaxis can be rapid onset & can
deteriorate into a life threatening
emergency very quickly
• Patient should be monitored closely & at
the first sign of any of the following ,anti
venin should be discontinued
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Anaphylaxis –
• Indicating signs & symptoms – Urticaria,
Itching, fever, chills or rigors, vomiting,
diarrhoea, abdominal cramps,
Tachycardia, Hypotension,
Bronchospasm, angioedema.
Snake Venom Antiserum

protection against Anaphylactoid reaction
,100 mg of Hydrocortisone & 10 mg of H1
antihistamine ,IV
• Children – 0.2 mg/kg of Anti histamine IV
& 2 mg /kg of Hydrocortisone IV
Snake Venom Antiserum
• Anaphylaxis – If the condition is worsening
,a second dose of 0.5 mg of Adrenaline
1:1000 IM ,may be given
Snake Bite Management

• Neostigmine is Anti cholinesterase drug – prolongs the action of Acetylcholine – revert respiratory failure & Neurotoxic symptoms – 0.5 mg IM ,half hourly + 0.6 mg of Atropine IV ,over an 8 hour period by continuous infusion
Snake Bite Management
• In Dysphagia – Continuous throat suction
• In Respiratory Paralysis – Endotracheal
Intubation, Artificial Respiration
• Total 10 to 15 vials of ASV may be
required in Respiratory Paralysis
Snake Bite Management
• Haemolytic Type –
• Inj Decadron 2 cc IV stat

• When oedema becomes severe ,Skin
becomes bluish black ,Circulation of toes
is diminished ---
• Then to save the limb ,emergency
Faciotomy incisions must be taken
Snake Bite Management
• Haemolytic Type
• In advanced cases ,we must look for
Haematuria, Bleeding from other sites like
nose, skin, check urine output.
Snake Bite Management

Snake Bite Management
• After giving adrenaline 1:1000 solution I.M.
½ c.c. and antihistaminic, 30 c.c. of the
serum should be added to 300 c.c. or
normal saline and given as I.V. drip in 1 to
2 hours.
• [ New Thought in 2014 - Prophylactic
Adrenaline should not be given as a
routine]
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 56
Snake Bite Management
• Old Thought -- Patients who are, sensitive,
desensitization should be done. Under the cover
of adrenaline, antihistaminic and steroids, small
doses are injected till 40 c.c. of serum I.M. are
given.
• New Thought in 2014 -- In sensitive patients
Adrenaline , Antihistaminics and steroids can be
given prophylactically but ASV is always given
IV only
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 57

Rabies or Hydrophobia
• Infectious disease – due to Neurotropic
filtrable virus ,transmitted by the bite or lick
of an infected dog
• Incubation period – 10 days to several
months
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 70
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 71
Rabies – Symptoms
• 1) Premonitory – Stage lasts for 2 days
.Pain & discomfort at the site of
bite.Irritable even to slight noise – cause
spasm of different muscles like muscles of
swallowing
• 2) Stage of Irritability – Spasm of
different muscles ,particularly deglutition
• Can not speak or drink
Rabies – Symptoms
• 2) Contd –
• Even sight of water may initiate spasm
• Muscles of Larynx etc undergo spasmodic
contraction.
• Respiration becomes difficult .RR – Increased
• Cyanosis, Hoarseness of voice, Jerks become
brisk
• Stage lasts for 3 days .Then Heart Failure
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 72
Rabies – Symptoms
• 3) Stage of Paralysis –
• Paralysis of different muscle groups like
respiration,Heart.
• Stage lasts for few hours & then Death
• Death is inevitable
• So take immediate injection after dog bite
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 73
Do not kill the Dog
• The dog in question should never be killed
• Rather it should be kept under observation for
10 days
• If Dog is normal & live after 5 days – Chances of
Rabies are almost zero & so no worry
• If dog behaves abnormal or dies in this period ,&
then if Negri bodies are found in the Brain in
postmartem –Then Diagnosis is confirmed of
Rabies
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 74
When full Immunization is must ?
• Rabies is a Fatal disease
• So dog is unknown or street dog or difficult to keep watch or people killed the dog – Then Full Immunization for Rabies is must
• Do not avoid Treatment of Rabies ,because it is Fatal disease ( Death of Rabies patient is 100%)
• In Pune (MS)India ,these patients are isolated in Naidu Hospital
Catch Rabied Dog

Bite By Rabid Dog
Rabies Symptoms
Rabies Virus
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 82
Rabies – Local care
• Wash the wound repeatedly with soap & flowing
water for atleast 15 mins.
• Clean the wound with 70% alcohol or Iodine (
under LA)
• If CLW is small – Do not suture
• If CLW is large – Suture loosely with drain after
24 hours
• Bite wound should not be sutured during primary
treatment for the fear of introducing the virus into
deeper tissue.
Thanks for Rabies Vaccine
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 84
Rabies Management
• 1) Inj Rabipur = PCEC = Purified Chick
Embryo Cell Vaccine = Total 6 Injections
• 1 dose Vial of Powder = 1 ml = Rs.400/-
• Inj on Deltoid
• Days = 0 – 3 – 7 – 14 – 1 month & 3
months
Rabies – Passive Immunization
• If dog bites are multiple & deep
• If dog bites on face & neck
• Then ,
• Inj Berirab P ( Immunoglobulins) – 300 IU
in 1 ml amp --- 3 to 4 ml IM – Injected
away from the site of Inj Rabipur
• Sr.TIG 1 ml is applied locally to the wound
or infiltrated around it
Vaccine Site
Inj Rabipur
• Can be given Intradermal ,in low dose
• So more Economical

Scorpion Bite
• 2 Types of Scorpion
• 2) Red Scorpion – found in Guhagar,Chiplun ,Kokan
area of Maharashtra state of India,Pondechari
• This bite can be Fatal
• Tab Prazosin ( Minipress) – Drug invented by
Dr.Bavaskar ( Actually this drug was previously used
only as Anti Hypertensive )
• Dose of Prazosin –1mg stat followed by 0.25 to 0.5mg
every 4 to 6 hours
Scorpion Bite
• Scorpion Venom – Neurotoxic &
Haematotoxic
• Since only a small quantity of the venom is
injected – mortality is very less
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 96
Symptoms of scorpion bite
• Local – more severe than snake bite –
pain,oedema & reddening
• Systemic –
Nausea,vomiting,restlessness,fever,convul
sions,coma,cyanosis
• The site of the bite is adentified as –
Pinpoint puncture spot ,local sweating &
oedema
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 97
Treatment of Scorpion bite
• 1) A tight ligature should be placed
proximal to the bite.
• 2) Ice should be applied around
• 3) Severe pain often responds to local
injection of emetine hydrochloride 30
mgm. given through the puncture made by
the sting, if this is visible.
10/10/2014 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 98
