Why Ciprofloxacin should be avoided with Diclofenac?
Cipro + Diclo = CNS Disco (seizures dance)

🔴 Increased risk of seizures
⚠️ Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.
⚠️ Diclofenac is a NSAID.
📍 Both of them affect the central nervous system (CNS).
💊 Ciprofloxacin can lower the seizure threshold (makes the brain more likely to have seizures).
💊 Diclofenac can enhance this effect.
⚠️ So, using them together increases the risk of seizures, especially in:
📌 Elderly patients
📌 People with epilepsy
📌 Those with brain injury or other CNS problems

Management of Snake Bites:

Initial First Aid and Transfer

1. Reassure the patient and immobilize the affected limb.
2. Transport the patient to the nearest facility with ASV availability.

Avoid letting the patient walk or run.

If an ambulance isn't available, use a motorcycle or bicycle—time matters, but unnecessary exertion worsens outcomes.

Hospital Management

1. Assess ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) and vitals. Reassure the patient continuously.

2. If signs of envenomation are present:

For patients over 13 years, give 0.25 ml (250 mcg) Adrenaline SC as a *prophylactic dose.*

Administer 10 vials (100 ml) of ASV, each diluted with 10 ml of the provided diluent and mixed in 400 ml of NS/DNS/Dextrose (total 500 ml).

Infuse at a rate so that it will finish in an hour (500/60 = 8.3ml/min of fluid (NS+ASV) (or 100/60 = nearly 2ml/min ASV), closely monitor for anaphylaxis or pyrogenic reactions.

3. If symptoms persist (in neurotoxic (repeat ASV only if symptoms worse) or hematotoxic bites (repeat ASV whether symptoms persist or worse)), give a second dose of 5–10 vials (total 250–500 ml) at the same rate.

*Do not exceed 20 vials and same dose, same dose 10-20 vials in children as well*

If still no improvement, give supportive/symptomatic treatment like intubation, FFPs and refer to a higher center with ventilatory support.

*Remember, patients can survive envenomation without ASV if ventilation is provided in time.

Managing ASV Reactions

Anaphylaxis:

*Stop ASV. Administer 0.5 ml (500 mcg) Adrenaline IM in the anterolateral thigh.*

Reassess in 5 minutes. Repeat up to 3 doses if needed.

If no response, add Corticosteroids, Pheniramine, and IV fluids as required.

Pyrexia:
Treat with Paracetamol infusion.

Ventilatory Support

If respiratory distress develops, intubate immediately and transfer with Bag-Mask ventilation to a higher center.

*Snakebites are avoidable, preventable, and treatable. Timely and appropriate management can save lives.*

Success Story of Team work:

A 2-year-old patient was brought to the Emergency Room at Provincial Hospital Malangwa after falling from the first floor (roof). X-rays (AP and lateral views) of the right thigh revealed a mid-shaft displaced closed fracture.
To ensure optimal healing, we applied traction and admitted the child to our general ward for 14 days, opting for a secondary hip spica instead of a primary one—resulting in safer and more effective outcomes.
On the 11th of Falgun, our orthopedic team successfully applied a hip spica cast. The follow-up X-ray shows excellent bone alignment. The cast will be removed after 4-6 weeks, following regular follow-ups.
