Abstract:
During the period when the hospital ran out of cobra antivenom, 4 patients bitten by cobra with neuromuscular symptoms and respiratory depression were treated with artificial respiration. Complete recovery was noted within 36 to 72 hours. The data are interpreted to indicate the reversible binding of the venom to receptors. Artificial ventilation appears to be another alternative to specific antivenom treatment and may be used when the antivenom is not available or if there is antivenom hypersensitivity.
