The use of rotational thromboelastometry parameters in understanding the coagulopathy following hump-nosed viper (Hypnale spp) bites: a preliminary study

Abstract Background Hump-nosed vipers (HNV; Hypnale spp) are one of the medically important venomous snakes in Sri Lanka and South-Western regions of India. The haemostatic dysfunction due to HNV bites is poorly characterized by standard diagnostic tests performed to identify coagulopathy. We aimed...
