During the period when the hospital ran out of cobra antivenom, 4 patients bitten by cobra with neuromuscular symptoms and respiratory depression were treated with artificial respiration. Complete recovery was noted within 36 to 72 hours. The data are interpreted to indicate the reversible binding of the venom to receptors. Artificial ventilation appears to be another alternative to specific antivenom treatment and may be used when the antivenom is not available or if there is antivenom hypersensitivity.
在医院的眼镜蛇抗蛇毒血清用完期间，4名被眼镜蛇咬伤且出现神经肌肉症状和呼吸抑制的患者接受了人工呼吸治疗。在36至72小时内实现了完全康复。这些数据被解读为表明毒液与受体的结合是可逆的。人工通气似乎是特异性抗蛇毒血清治疗的另一种替代方法，当抗蛇毒血清无法获得或存在抗蛇毒血清超敏反应时可以使用。
