Here's what to do IMMEDIATELY to ular1 bite first aid. Call for help immediately to bring the patient to the nearest hospital. At the hospital, the victim should get treatment and was given anti-venom serum.2. Dressing the wound with a cloth. Tie the body on the wound with a cloth or a rope, but not too strong. Ties are too strong can cause obstructed blood flow and consequently can be damaging other tissue.3. Limit activity and maintain immobilization, which means the movement of the injured area is limited or fixed. Move too much causing toxins more easily absorbed by the body.
While waiting for medical help, keep the victim calm. Panic makes the heart beat stronger and will facilitate the spread of toxins in the body.Snake bite, wherever possible, was arrested and taken to the hospital. In addition to avoid other casualties, snake identification can be useful to know the possible types of venom.
