Intervention(s) planned

The study will be conducted in toxicology ward of Teaching hospital Peradeniya. Participants meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be allocated to treatment groups (dosing level) mentioned below,

Level 1: 2 vials of ICP- AVRI-UOP Sri Lankan new antivenom dissolved in 20ml of water for injection and diluted in 200 ml of 0.9% saline (220ml final volume)

Level 2: 5 vials of ICP- AVRI-UOP Sri Lankan new antivenom dissolved in 50ml of water for injection and diluted in 200 ml of 0.9% saline (250ml final volume)

Level 3: 7 vials of ICP- AVRI-UOP Sri Lankan new antivenom dissolved in 70ml of water for injection and diluted in 200ml of 0.9% saline (270ml final volume)

Level 4: 10 vials of ICP- AVRI-UOP Sri Lankan new antivenom dissolved in 100ml of water for injection and diluted in 200ml of 0.9% saline (300ml final volume)

Supportive care will be provided to all patients according to standard guidelines.


Inclusion criteria

  5. Inability to give direct or proxy consent (unconscious and unaccompanied by a relative)
  6. Presentation more than 8 hours after snake bite.


Primary outcome(s)

1.

1) Free venom concentration in blood serum

[

Primary outcome will be measured at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 hours after the initiation of antivenom and daily until dischargeweeks after discharge from the hospital

]

Secondary outcome(s)

1.

(1) Clotting factors concentrations (Activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT] fibrinogen, X, V, VII, VIII, D-dimer) (2) Hematological parameters: Hemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, white cell count, platelet count (3) Urinary markers of acute kidney injury (Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, beta2-microglobulin, Kidney Injury Molecule-1) (4) Surrogate markers of Myotoxicity as assessed by creatine kinase (CK) (5) Surrogate markers of Renal toxicity as assessed by Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, beta2-microglobulin, Kidney Injury Molecule-1 and serum creatinine (6) Pain Score (using a visual analogue scale) (7) Duration of hospital stay

[

Secondary outcomes 1-6 will be measured at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 hours after the initiation of antivenom and daily until discharge Secondary outcome 7 will be measured as the time of initiation of AVS to time of discharge from the hospital
