RESUMO
Em avaliação dos prontuários médicos de 3.139 pacientes picados por serpentes do gênero Bothrops atendidos no Hospital Vital Brazil (HVB), de 1981 a 1990, observou-se maior acometimento do sexo masculino (75,7%). Em 1.412 casos (45,0%) a serpente foi identificada, sendo 1.376 B. jararaca, 20 B. jararacussu, 11 B. neuwiedi, 2 B. moojeni, 2 B. alternatus e 1 B. pradoi. As regiões anatômicas mais comumente picadas foram (47,5%) e mão (21,3%). O torniquete foi realizado em 38,2% dos casos e sua freqüência diminuiu durante esse período (p < 0,001). As manifestações clínicas mais freqüentes foram dor (95,6%), edema (95,4%), equimose (56,1%), bolha (13,8%), necrose (16,5%), abscesso (11,0%), sangramento extratecidual (12,3%), insuficiência renal (1,6%) e choque (0,7%). A coagulação sanguínea foi avaliada em 2.990 casos e estava alterada em 1.730 (57,9%). Ocorreram 21 amputações (0,7%) e 9 óbitos (0,3%). A dose de soro administrada no HVB diminuiu ao longo desse período (p < 0,001).
ABSTRACT
Medical records of 3,139 patients bitten by Bothrops snakes and attended at Vital Brazil Hospital (HVB) from 1981 to 1990 were reviewed. They were more frequent in males (75.7%). In 1,412 cases (45.0%) the snake was classified by species, and 1,376 were B. jararaca, 20 B. jararacussu, 11 B. neuwiedi, 2 B. moojeni, 2 B. alternatus e 1 B. pradoi. The most frequent bitten anatomic regions were foot (47.5%) and hand (21.3%). Tourniquet was used in 38.2% of the cases and its frequency fell down during the study period (p < 0.05). The clinical features at the bite site were pain (95.6%), swelling (95.4%), ecchymosis (56.1%), blisters (13.8%), necrosis (16.5%), and abscess (11.0%). Systemic manifestations were bleeding (12.3%), acute renal failure (1.6%), and shock (0.7%). There were blood coagulation disorders in 1,730 (57.9%) of the 2,990 cases.
