Abstract

The incidence of snake bites grows more and more. The effects of the snake poison depend on the snake species. They can be cardio-, neuro-, myo-, tissue-, and/or cytotoxic, as well as hemorrhagically. In most cases a symptomatically therapy together with close controls of the labor parameters and a good monitoring is enough. Antivenom-therapy should be reserved for cases with strong indication.
