Early cardiovascular collapse after envenoming by snakes in Australia, 2005–2020: an observational study (<scp>ASP</scp>‐31)
Collapse after Australian snake envenoming almost always occurred within 60 minutes of the bite, was always accompanied by VICC, and most frequently followed brown snake bites. Poorer outcomes, including cardiac arrest, seizures, and death, were more frequent for people who collapsed than for those who did not. Outcomes for people who collapsed before medical care arrived were poorer than for those who collapsed in hospital or in an ambulance.
