This article is a case study of a patient cared for in the hours before her death. After the patient's death, we learned the patient died of a black widow spider bite. This article sheds light on the potential seriousness of this venom and allows for more rapid detection and treatment of those who are unfortunate enough to be bitten. The authors have documented the sequence of events for the patient, outlined the care the patient received, examined the pathophysiology of the body to a spider bite, and then made a passionate appeal for other nurses who work in critical care to do the same with patients in similar situations.
本文是对一名患者临终前数小时护理情况的案例研究。患者去世后，我们得知其死于黑寡妇蜘蛛咬伤。本文揭示了这种毒液潜在的严重性，有助于对不幸被咬者进行更快速的检测和治疗。作者记录了该患者的事件顺序，概述了患者接受的护理，研究了蜘蛛咬伤后身体的病理生理学，然后强烈呼吁其他从事重症护理工作的护士，在类似情况下对患者采取同样的做法。
