Abstract

Green pit viper bites are common and dangerous because of how quickly they can inflict damage on the body with potentially deadly venom. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, patients can be poisoned, causing many serious complications that can easily lead to death. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at Nghe An General Friendship Hospital from May 2021 to May 2022. Among 30 patients, rates of patients had local pain symptoms and tooth marks, bullous and necrotic symptoms were 100%, 43,3% and 3,3%, respectively. 33.3% of patients had symptoms of hemorrhage. Coagulation disorders are common manifestations. The rate of patients with fibrinogen reduction was 66.7%; 26.7% had a decrease in platelet count; 23.3% had prolonged PT; 23.3% had increased INR and 6.7% had prolonged aPTT.
