  • Title: North American snake envenomation: diagnosis, treatment, and management.
    Author: Gold BS, Barish RA, Dart RC.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 2004 May; 22(2):423-43, ix. PubMed ID: 15163575.
    Abstract:
    A bite from a venomous snake is a medical emergency involving not only the affected site but also multiple organ systems. Rapid transport of a snakebite victim to a medical facility is paramount. Management decisions must be based on close clinical monitoring of the potentially erratic envenomation syndrome. Because of the many variables inherent in the management of snakebite victims, consultation with a physician specialist is recommended.
