Snake bite

If snake bites a person, first of all, it is so necessary to know about snake whether it is poisonous or not. It can be checked out by observing teeth marks on the area of snake bite. But, if it is hard to find out, treatment should be started as in the case of poisonous. 

Symptoms-

The part of the body on which snake bites, is swollen up with other symptoms like- violent pain, vertigo, unconsciousness, stumbling, profuse sweating, nauseate and then delirium and banyante start to originate. 

Awareness:-

• In most of the case of snake bite, person is dead due to fear, not by poison.
• We should make the patient lying down on a comfortable place, because poison is spread in the entire body by movement.
• The affected part should not be fomented with ice because in most of the cases, pain becomes violent and death-rate of the cells of that part becomes high. 
• If snake bites on a person's hand, a piece of cloth or thin rope should be tied above 2-4 inches of cutting place.
• If the swelling is reached to a bandage, it should be loosed at an interval of every 15-20 minutes.
• Snake poison can be removed out by sucking or by cutting that area. But, remember that the sucker should not have any type of wound in his mouth, tongue or lips, etc. 
• If coral snake bites a person, the affected part should not be washed with soap and water and that area should never be rubbed.
• Do not allow the patient to sleep or unconscious. For this purpose, we should talk to him continuously or should shake him.

Precaution:-

• We should make the following tests of the sufferer like- A.B.C. means tests of air tube, breathing pipe, blood circulation, etc. 
• For cleaning the air pipe, additional saliva should be removed out from it by opening the patient mouth.
• Stretch the lower jaw of the patient by lifting it; it will help the tongue to come up.
• To check that the sufferer is taking breath or not, feel nose air or his chest movement.

If the sufferer is not taking breath, give him artificial breath to him by the following waty-

• First of all, close the patient's nose and then give your breath to him by placing your mouth on his mouth.
• After this activity, check out his chest movement and if there is no any movement found, repeat the activity of giving artificial breath.
• Check the patient's pulse and try to hear heart beat.
• If there is no any heart beat found, hit the chest by your fist. 

Massage of the heart:-

• We keep on giving artificial breath to the patient until a doctor comes and massaging his heart continuously. 
• After giving artificial breath second time, massage the heart 15 times and then check his pulse rate.
• If the patient is not taking breath but pulse is going on, give artificial breath.
• Artificial breath should be given to an adult or children more than 8 years at an interval of every 5-5 seconds. 
• Pulse rate should be checked out once after giving artificial breath 12 times continuously.
