SnakeBite911 FR
For Emergency First Responders

Venomous snakebites are often seasonal and infrequent occurrences that need careful and immediate management.

SnakeBite911 FR, for Emergency First Responders, is a guide for medically-trained emergency personnel that walks through a checklist of best practice actions recommended to be carried out in a snakebite emergency from venomous pit viper snakes, including rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths. These actions aim to help the bite victim be appropriately managed from pick-up by the First Responders through to delivery at a snakebite-treatment proficient Emergency Department.

This App provides First Responders with useful information so they can act quickly and with confidence in a snakebite emergency where time is tissue!

Selected Safety Information about CroFab®
In clinical trials, recurrent coagulopathy (the return of a coagulation abnormality after it has been successfully treated with antivenin), characterized by decreased fibrinogen, decreased platelets, and elevated prothrombin time, occurred in approximately half of the patients studied. Recurrent coagulopathy may persist for 1 to 2 weeks or more. Patients who experience coagulopathy due to snakebite should be monitored for recurrent coagulopathy for up to 1 week or longer.
