Abstract

All venomous snake bites can be effectively treated with antivenom. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at Nghe An General Friendship Hospital from 05/2021 - 05/2022 with the aim of evaluating the results of treatment with antivenom after green pit viper bites. Among 30 patients, after 12 and 24 hours, swelling symptoms improved 96.8% and 100%, respectively; bleeding symptoms improved 92.3% and 100%, respectively. PT, INR, aPTT, Fibrinogen and platelets improved statistically (p < 0.05). The occurrence rate of unwanted effects is 3.3%.
