King cobra bites are extremely rare in the western world. These bites can be fatal due to the large volume of the venom injected. We report a case of digital ischaemia from a King cobra bite in a young man who was working in a zoo in Netherlands. He was protected from systemic envenomation as he was wearing a protective glove. However, his right index finger developed subsequent gangrene and he underwent a ray amputation. The current literature on the management of snake bites to hands is reviewed and the role of early decompression discussed.
眼镜王蛇咬伤在西方世界极为罕见。由于注入的毒液量很大,这些咬伤可能会致命。我们报告一例在荷兰一家动物园工作的年轻男子被眼镜王蛇咬伤后出现手指缺血的病例。他因戴着防护手套而未发生全身中毒。然而,他的右手食指随后发生坏疽,接受了截指手术。本文回顾了目前关于手部蛇咬伤治疗的文献,并讨论了早期减压的作用。
