As a response to the recent article by Hifumi et al. published in the Journal of Intensive Care, the present correspondence clarifies the family-level taxonomy of the yamakagashi (Rhabdophis tigrinus). Further, the relevance of the term 'venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy,' instead of disseminated intravascular coagulation, in describing the procoagulant coagulopathy of R. tigrinus is highlighted.
针对 Hifumi 等人最近在《重症监护杂志》上发表的文章,本通信澄清了山烙铁头蛇(Rhabdophis tigrinus)的家族分类。此外,还强调了在描述 R. tigrinus 的促凝性凝血障碍时使用“毒液诱导的消耗性凝血障碍”而不是“弥散性血管内凝血”这一术语的相关性。
