Article Synopsis
- Venomous snakebites are a common issue in Suriname, and a study aimed to assess the impact of a national snakebite protocol on treatment outcomes, focusing on mortality and hospital stay length.
- The study reviewed medical records of snakebite patients from 2013 and 2015, revealing a significant increase in anti-snake venom (ASV) administration in 2015, with no reported deaths that year compared to one death in 2013.
- Although the length of hospital stay was not significantly different overall, patients who did not receive ASV had a notably shorter stay in 2015 compared to 2013.
Background: Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of kidney damage after e.g. renal surgery and transplantation.
