Snakebite frequencies and envenomation case management in primary health centers of the Bobo-Dioulasso health district (Burkina Faso) from 2014 to 2018

“…This is reflected in the expert judges’ call for specifically trained physicians, nurses, and nursing assistants in CHCs, also in accordance with the literature in Southeast Asia [ 54 ], Nigeria [ 61 ], India [ 55 ], and Burkina Faso [ 52 ]. In contrast with this view, several studies also highlight lack of knowledge and call for additional, reformed training amongst hospital-based health providers, in particular the United States [ 62 ] and Bhutan [ 63 ].…”

“…But, when asked to determine Essential versus Desirable items for the lower-level Type 2 and Type 1 centers, there was significantly more disagreement and debate surrounding whether patient care can be extended from hospitals to earlier along the care continuum despite its safety and proven effectiveness in other settings, namely antivenom decentralization in Costa Rica [59] and a pilot trial of a nurse-led antivenom clinic Tanzania [60]. This is reflected in the expert judges' call for specifically trained physicians, nurses, and nursing assistants in CHCs, also in accordance with the literature in Southeast Asia [54], Nigeria [61], India [55], and Burkina Faso [52]. In contrast with this view, several studies also highlight lack of knowledge and call for additional, reformed training amongst hospital-based health providers, in particular the United States [62] and Bhutan [63].…”

“…to quality antivenom serum is frequently limited [4,7]. Most studies conducted in Burkina Faso have focused on the prevalence or incidence of snakebites [6,8,9], while recent research on complications has been case reports from referral hospitals [10][11][12]. Few studies have explored both the complications of snakebite envenomation and the associated factors.…”
