FIRST AID PROTOCOL: Puff Adder Bite

IMMEDIATE ACTION IS CRITICAL. This information is provided for educational purposes. Always seek immediate professional medical help.

1. Safety & Transportation:

• Ensure the snake is no longer a threat. Do not attempt to capture it, as this risks further bites.

• Call for emergency transportation immediately.

2. Victim Care:

• Keep the victim calm and still. Have them lie down and avoid any movement.

• Position the bitten limb at a level lower than the heart.

• Apply a pressure immobilization bandage: wrap a large crepe bandage snugly over the bite site and along the entire length of the limb.

• Splint the bandaged limb to keep it rigid.

• Do not remove the bandage or splint until the victim is at a hospital receiving antivenom.

• Absolutely avoid: cutting, sucking, tourniquets, chemicals, or electric shock.

• Do not give the victim anything to eat, drink, or any sedatives.

3. At the Hospital:

• Treatment involves administration of specific polyvalent antivenom (e.g., SAIMR) and supportive care for severe local effects, systemic envenomation, coagulopathy, and potential shock.
