为了研究经过适当治疗的血液毒性蛇的长时间凝血特征和死亡的原因，以及蛇的预后指标不良。这是一项基于医院的前瞻性分析研究。从2006年到2009年，在入院时临床分析了所有具有毒化的蛇咬伤。他们接受了标准治疗方案的处理。蛇被保存，鉴定并与临床细节相关。 。与其他印度研究相比，晚期恢复和死亡率的发生率更高。在此期间，与受害者一起被带来了十条蛇。其中三个被确定为驼峰鼻子毒蛇，其中两名受害者恢复了迟到，一名受害者恢复了。可用的抗蛇毒液不覆盖毒蛇。因此，迫切需要这种蛇的抗蛇毒。
To study the cause for prolonged coagulation profile and death in properly treated hemotoxic snake envenomation and the bad prognostic indicators in snake envenomation.This was a hospital based prospective analytical study. All snake bites with envenomation from 2006 through 2009 were clinically analysed at the time of admission. They were treated with standard treatment protocol. Snakes brought were preserved, identified and correlated with clinical details.Of the 73 envenomation patients registered, 66 (90.4%) were hemotoxic envenomation, in which 14 (19.2%) had late recovery and 11 (15.1%) expired mainly due to hemorrhagic complication. The incidence of late recovery and mortality is higher compared to other Indian studies. Ten snakes were brought during the period along with the victims. Three of them were identified as hump nosed pit vipers, of which two victims had late recovery and one expired.Hump nosed pit viper envenomation is not rare in Kerala and can cause death, unlike the earlier belief. Available anti snake venoms does not cover pit viper. So, antivenom for this snake is urgently required.
