TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Local and systemic symptoms after snake bite by a diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) JO - Praxis A1 - Kann, S. A1 - Heidgen, F. J. A1 - Neuhaus, T. A1 - Walger, P. SP - 119 EP - 128 VL - 91 IS - 4 N2 - 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.
