Very calm presentation! 🙂 Good!

[@lavidaloca744]

In the Mountains of Jammu and Kashmir when bitten by a snake they stop the bloodflow by tying the area to prevent the posion spreading. Then they go hospital. Some of them live at least 45 mins to 2 hours away from hospitals

[@sirajadnan2331]

if the patient is already unconscious in the beginning , should we assess her using the DRSABCD first or the snake bite first? because both is also crucial .

[@cprkids]

DRSABCD :)

[@giseleyousif3563]

Listen to her

Do u do DRSABCD First?

[@cprkids]

Always follow DRSABCD, Danger, Response, then if conscious send for help and apply pressure bandage. If unconscious continue to follow DRSABCD

[@martinl3710]

Why from the bottom to the top and not from top to bottom (where you force the blood to stay at the end of the extremity?

[@cprkids]

Good question! applying the bandage upwards from the lower portion of the bitten limb means the bandage will be more comfortable, and therefore can be left in place for longer if required - biomedicalsciences.unimelb.edu.au/departments/department-of-biochemistry-and-pharmacology/engage/avru/advice-and-resources/first-aid/pressure-immobilisation-first-aid

[@cprkids]

Also, we aren't trying to force the blood to stay down, we are compressing the lymph system - venom initially travels in the lymph, so we are restricting the lymph flow, not blood.
