Abstract
HARDCASTLE, T C et al. Approach to the diagnosis and management of snakebite envenomation in South Africa in humans: Special patient groups and surgical aspects. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2023, vol.113, n.7, pp.1250-1255. ISSN 2078-5135. http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/SAMJ.2023.v113i7.1038.
This article explores the management of snakebite in vulnerable patient groups, namely children and pregnant women, as well as providing detail on the current best practice when caring for venom ophthalmia and surgical wounds resulting from snakebite. Finally, the optimal free-to-use medical record for accurate documentation of snakebite incidents is provided for use by South African practitioners.
