Description: Venomous native North American snake families incorporate the pit vipers (copperheads, water moccasins/cottonmouths, and rattlesnakes) and coral snakes. Pit viper venom is coagulopathic, and coral snake venom is neurotoxic - so what are the variations in ED management between the 2 types of envenomations? This edition presents the best data behind some of the con?icting recommendations, local practices, and “folklore” surrounding snakebites: •  Ice, pressure immobilization, incision, and suction: are they still recommended? •  How can you tell whether - and how much - venom was injected? •  Why you must mark and time edema and erythema from a snakebite •  What can antivenom do - and not do? •  What are the antivenom options for coral snake bites? •  When is airway compromise a concern, and will antivenom reverse it? •  Is there a greater risk for anaphylaxis from the snakebite or the antivenom?
