“…This lack of baseline data is a major barrier to studying thromboelastography for this application. There have been case reports or small case series of thromboelastography in rattlesnake envenomation but many have been from outside of North America [12][13][14][15] and details about methodology were not always included (e.g., citrated versus whole blood, which activator used, etc.). Moreover, all studies, whether from North America [16][17][18] or not, have reported only standard thromboelastography, which do not include platelet activation studies.…”

“…TEG showed a difference in data tracings. 9 Additional case reports have reported using ROTEM or TEG in the assessment and management of North American pit viper envenomation, 10,11 probable Echis envenomation in Afghanistan, 12 viper envenomation in India, 13 snake envenoming with coagulopathy in Djibouti, 14 and coagulopathy associated with Viperidae envenoming in Vietnam. 15 The largest series using TEG is from South Africa, where 51 cases were reviewed.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this combination has not previously been reported. TEG showed that the coagulation curve was close to normal after addition of FBG preparation[ 8 ]. Given that our patient’s coagulation factors and platelet counts were normal, we believe that he had the type of coagulation dysfunction that is mediated via the above-mentioned SVSPs pathway.…”
