5 Case Presentation You step out of the wilderness aid station and notice a 22-year-old male, with a small limp, complaining of pain in his leg as ambulatory personnel help him down the trail entrance. He says he felt a sharp pain, and noticed a dark brown snake slithering away. He has two puncture holes in his calf above his boot.

7 Anatomy and Physiology continued
8 Anatomy and Physiology Organs with a high vascular supply (i.e., major internal organs) absorb toxins rapidly. Organs with a low vascular supply (i.e., the extremities) increase the potential for infection. continued

85 Case Disposition You are concerned that your patient was bitten by a rattlesnake. Splint his leg while keeping him supine, warm, and calm. His friends help you carry him to the trailhead so that he can avoid exertion. You arrange transport to the closest hospital so that he can be treated with antivenom.
86 Chapter Summary Most skin rashes from contact with toxic plants are not life threatening. Skin rashes can become infected and should be evaluated by a physician. Minor bites from wild animals are not usually life threatening. continued
87 Chapter Summary Bites and scratches by certain small wild animals warrant evaluation for rabies. Unexplained altered mental status or severe nausea/vomiting may be associated with ingestion of a plant or mushroom toxin. continued
88 Chapter Summary When ingestion of a poisonous plant is suspected, obtain a history of what the individual ate. Manage large bites and injuries as you would any traumatic wound. Many stings, whether by insects or marine animals, can be managed with localized treatment. continued
89 Chapter Summary Observation of signs of systemic involvement requires transport to a medical-care facility. Taking preventative measures to avoid animal bites is the best course of action.
