Episode 163. Snake Bite Envenomation in Australia with Dr Tim Jackson

Episode 163 Show Notes: Snake Bite Envenomation in Australia with Dr Tim Jackson
Australia is home to many of the world’s most dangerous snake species so familiarity with snake bite management and understanding the clinical effects of snake bite is vital for Australian doctors, especially those with a rural practice. Each year in Australia there are about 1000 recorded snake bites but fortunately only 2-3 deaths, most of these relate to bites from the brown snake. This contrasts with a vastly higher number of reported deaths from snake bites in India and Africa contributing to a recorded 100,000 deaths from envenomation globally.
