  • Title: Syncope, massive aspiration, and sudden death following rattlesnake bite.
    Author: Norris RL, Wilkerson JA, Feldman J.
    Journal: Wilderness Environ Med; 2007; 18(3):206-8. PubMed ID: 17896845.
    Abstract:
    Fatalities following rattlesnake bite are rare in the United States, usually occur some hours following the bite, and are generally secondary to direct venom effects. We report a patient with acute syncope and subsequent massive aspiration resulting in airway obstruction and rapid death following a probable Northern Pacific rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus oreganus) bite.
