Journal Article
RATIONALISATION OF FIRST-AID MEASURES FOR ELAPID SNAKEBITE
2005
Overview
The plasma of monkeys envenomated with tiger snake (
Notechis scutatus) venom was monitored by radioimmunoassay for both crude venom and a neurotoxin. When the injected limb was immobilised and a pressure of 55
mm Hg applied to the injection site, only very low levels of circulating venom or neurotoxin were detectable. In practical terms, venom movement can be effectively delayed for long periods by the application of a firm crepe bandage to the length of the bitten limb combined with immobilisation by a splint. Pressure alone or immobilisation alone did not delay venom movement.
