Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate the coagulation disorders caused by pit viper bites in patients from Zhanjiang and surrounding areas. The investigators will assess the effectiveness of thromboelastography (TEG) in evaluating coagulation function in these patients. The study will compare TEG results with conventional coagulation tests (CCTs) to understand its potential clinical value in diagnosing and managing coagulopathy caused by venomous snake bites.
Detailed Description:
Pit viper bites are a significant cause of envenomation in Guangzhou and surrounding regions, leading to severe coagulation disorders. Early and accurate assessment of coagulation function is critical for effective management and treatment. Traditional coagulation tests, such as prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), are commonly used but may not fully reflect the complex coagulopathy induced by venom.
This observational study will include patients who have been bitten by pit vipers in Guangzhou and surrounding areas. The aim is to evaluate the role of thromboelastography (TEG) in the diagnosis and management of coagulopathy in these patients. The investigators will compare TEG results with conventional coagulation tests (CCTs) to assess their agreement and the additional insights TEG may provide in identifying coagulation abnormalities.
The study will observe participants from the moment of admission and monitor their coagulation function through TEG and CCTs. Data will be collected on clinical outcomes, including any signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), thromboembolic events, or bleeding complications. The investigators aim to identify the clinical value of TEG in managing coagulopathy in pit viper bite cases and to explore whether TEG can be used as a more reliable and timely diagnostic tool.
This study will help improve the understanding of coagulopathy induced by pit viper venom and may potentially guide the development of better diagnostic and treatment protocols for venomous snake bites.
