4 Purpose This CPG provides evidence based guidelines for the management of bites and envenomation. 4
5 Summary Differences exist in treatment of bites from different species Envenomation requires aggressive medical care 5
6 Key Principles of CPG Bites Envenomation PI Monitoring References Appendices 6
7 Evaluation of Bites All bites and stings from vertebrate organisms should be evaluated by plain radiograph as barbs and teeth are frequently left in patients after attacks. Tetanus and rabies status (only for mammalian bites) must be addressed. Type of environment must be assessed Marine environment can have decompression sickness if deep enough. Some infectious organisms are more common in certain conditions then others. 7
8 Evaluation of Bites Timing and identification of organism is important if possible to note. Unknown timing and source common for arthropod bites If arthropod bite, neurotoxic/allergic effects will be immediate, loxoscelism will be delayed presentation 8
9 Treatment of Mammalian Bites Aggressive washout and debridement as indicated/ Delayed primary closure or healing by secondary intention safest Close follow-up for 1 to 2 days Rabies vaccine and rabies immunoglobulin should be considered. Antibiotic prophylaxis, typically amoxicillin-clavulanate, for three days is recommended for high-risk wounds. Associated significant crush injury Deep puncture Cat bites Bites near joints, hands, face, or genitalia Wounds requiring closure 14 December 2011 Pre-decisional FOUO 9
10 Treatment of Marine Bites Aggressive washout and debridement (removal of barbs and teeth) as indicated Treatment for decompression sickness if applicable (generally happens within 48 hrs of rapid ascent below 30 ft) Antibiotic prophylaxis includes generally trimethroprimsulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, or doxycycline for 3 days Antivenins for box jellyfish and stonefish potentially available if applicable 14 December 2011 Pre-decisional FOUO 10
11 Treatment of Arthropod Bites Neurotoxic and anaphylaxis effects from various scorpions, spiders, and other insects can happen. Transfer to facility with appropriate antivenin if signs of systemic illness Loxoscelism is generally only bite that needs addressing surgically Most commonly confused with cellulitis as patient did not know was bit Typically does not heal and worsens with appropriate course of antibiotics Will demarcate in 1-2 weeks after which debridement, closure or possible skin grafting is required Antibiotics only for signs of infection Symptomatic support of systemic symptoms 11
12 Envenomation Local Manifestations Burning pain within minutes Edema Erythema Swelling Ecchymosis Hemorrhagic bullae Lymphangitis/lymphadenopathy Necrosis (late finding) 14 December 2011 Pre-decisional FOUO 12
13 Envenomation Systemic Manifestations Nausea, vomiting (earliest findings) Weakness Headache Tachycardia Paresthesias Bulbar symptoms Diplopia Shock Twitching Consumptive coagulopathy Rhabdomyolysis Muscle paralysis Renal failure Capillary leakage Pulmonary edema Hypotension 14 December 2011 Pre-decisional FOUO 13
14 Evaluation of Envenomation Snake bites should be presumed venomous and the patient sent to a location with antivenin and intensive care capabilities. A significant minority are dry bites (no venom delivered). If no symptoms, can be admitted to a ward and watched 24 hours. If still no symptoms, can be safely discharged after this time. Those with symptoms signs should be admitted to ICU environment. 14 December 2011 Pre-decisional FOUO 14
15 Evaluation of Envenomation Initial evaluation should include trauma assessment. Additional labs/tests when possible should include: CBC PT/INR Fibrinogen EKG Creatine Kinase Complete Metabolic Panel Urine protein/blood/myoglobin Laboratory derangements will help guide supportive care. 14 December 2011 Pre-decisional FOUO 15
16 Treatment of Envenomation Initial treatment is supportive outside of antivenin. Remove constricting clothing. Clean wound. Mark site of the bite to demarcate initial erythema and swelling. Avoid FFP, cryoprecipitate and platelets as they may worsen consumptive coagulopathy. 16
17 Treatment of Envenomation Treatment with antivenin is mainstay In addition to consulting CPG algorithm, consult with pharmacy on any specific dosing requirements Consider pre-treatment for anaphylaxis and monitor for signs during administration Supportive care for complications such as airway loss, shock, and rhabdomyolysis Extremities may swell drastically, do not resort to fasciotomy immediately as compartment syndrome very rare Consider if compartment pressures greater then 35 mm Hg after antivenin therapy 17
18 PI Monitoring Intent (Expected Outcomes) Rapid evaluation and transfer to site with antivenin capability for envenomation Tetanus, rabies, and antibiotic prophylaxis when appropriate Data Source Patient Record Department of Defense Trauma Registry (DoDTR) 14 December 2011 Pre-decisional FOUO 18
19 PI Monitoring Performance/Adherence Measures Prophylactic antibiotics for mammalian and marine bites Transfer of patients to antivenin if non-available at site Administration of antivenin with any clinical symptoms Rabies prophylaxis for mammalian bites Tetanus prophylaxis for all bites and stings Antivenin administration prior to fasciotomies/dermotomy for envenomation 19
