- Description
- Early detection of venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) in Australian snake bite is important for early antivenom administration. However, many patients present to smaller or rural hospitals where on-site laboratory coagulations studies are not available. Point-of-care (POC) devices for an international normalised ratio (INR) and D-dimer have become available and have been used in this setting.
