ABSTRACT
In cases of severe envenomation due to snakebites, patients require antivenom, intensive care management, including respiratory support, haemodynamic monitoring and renal replacement therapy. Early recognition and treatment of complications such as acute kidney injury, rhabdomyolysis and coagulopathy are important to improve outcomes.Tele-ICU models can play a critical role in providing access to critical care expertise and nuanced support to remote healthcare facilities that may not have the necessary resources or expertise to manage complex cases of envenomation. With the help of telemedicine technology, remote intensivists can provide timely guidance on diagnosis and ongoing management, improving the quality of care and outcomes for patients. We discuss two patients in resource-constrained regions of India with severe envenomation who were managed with tele-ICU support.
