Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the clinical aspects of snakebites carried out in the last five years. Integrative review in the BVS, LILACS, SciELO, PubMed database of works published between 2020 and 2024, combining the descriptors "snake accidents", "diagnosis" and "treatment". Common venomous snakes are rattlesnakes, snakeheads, copperheads, and cottonmouths, but rattlesnakes account for the majority of bites and nearly all deaths. Therefore, crotalic accident patients should be monitored continuously for at least 8 hours, and for longer if any findings suggest poisoning. Treat wounds and symptoms, and consult a poison control center. Administer antivenom early and in appropriate doses, including full doses for adults and children
