Abstract

Background: Snakebite is a neglected disease in subtropical and tropical countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Snakebite is one of the most common venomous animal bites in the world. Case: A 34-year-old male presented with a history of snakebite two days before with a swollen left gluteus and spontaneous gum bleeding. At the emergency room, the patient was fully conscious with blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg, temperature of 36.8oC, pulse rate of 80 beats per minute, and respiration rate of 18 times per minute. Blood studies showed prolonged prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), leucocytosis, thrombocytopenia, low hemoglobin, and elevated renal function test. The patient's condition was improved after administration of anti-snake venom, vitamin K injection, transfusion of fresh frozen plasma and packed red cells. He was discharged after three days of hospital stays. Conclusion: Antivenom is the only specific antidote to snake venom; in Indonesia, there is only one local antivenom, commonly known as SABU (serum anti-bisa ular). Inappropriate use of antivenom should be strongly discouraged. Administration of the antivenom should be accompanied by preparedness for anaphylaxis risk.

Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the leading environmental emergencies with high mortality and morbidity. The brain and heart are especially at-risk organs of being affected. Clinical manifestations may closely mimic various nonspecific viral illnesses. Diagnosis is made based on of clinical symptoms, patient history, and the location’s circumstances. Current therapy recommendations for CO poisoning are 100% normobaric oxygen (NBO) or hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Non-invasive ventilation CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) method is effective as a therapy for CO poisoning in the emergency room because it can provide tissue oxygenation and eliminate CO quickly.
