dc.description.abstractAccording to the World Health Organization, snakebites cause more death and disability and are more notorious than some tropical diseases. Snakebite is a leading medical emergency in Asia/Pacific. It is one of the major causes of mortality in India. The objective of this study was to determine the clinico-epidemiological profile of a neuroparalytic snake bite at the Department of Medicine, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Karad, one of the tertiary care centers of Western Maharashtra, in India.METHODSA descriptive study of 80 patients was carried out at the Department of Medicine, KIMS, Karad, a tertiary care center of Western Maharashtra, India. Present study showed outcome, delay in arrival, and epidemiology of patients with low dose of ASV in neuroparalytic snakebites and ventilator support. Descriptive statistics were shown by using MS Excel and SPSS Version 25.RESULTSOut of 80 cases 56.2% were males and 43.8% were females with a mean age of 28.16 years. 63.7% of the snakebite victims were bitten outside and 85% of the snakebites occurred on the lower extremity. On an average, 15.24 vials of ASV were administered. 80% patient were in Intensive Care and they were on ventilator support and 91% patients recovered from these snake bites. 51.25% of the patients reached the hospital within the interval of 3-7 hours.CONCLUSIONSStudy signifies the importance of snakebite threat to the community. Delay in reaching a hospital in time where snakebite patients can be treated, was the most important cause of death. Public health programs should be strengthened. Administration of Low dose ASV and ventilator support can provide sufficient cure if patients reach on time. Lack of awareness, delay in reaching the hospital, and treatment by non-medical persons are important factors that should to be addressed.en_US
