  • Title: Effects of snake envenomation: a guide for emergency nurses.
    Author: McGhee S, Finnegan A, Clochesy JM, Visovsky C.
    Journal: Emerg Nurse; 2015 Feb; 22(9):24-9. PubMed ID: 25659795.
    Abstract:
    Only one species of venomous snake, the adder, is indigenous to the UK, but many people keep venomous snakes as pets and others travel to places, such as the United States, where a wider variety of venomous snakes can be found. Emergency nurses should therefore be prepared to treat bite wounds caused by venomous and non-venomous snakes. This article offers an overview of the most common forms of envenomation in the UK and makes recommendations for the clinical care of people who have sustained snake bites.
