Novocaine block according to Vishnevsky as a method of treating snake poisoning

Abstract

To this day, the chapter on the treatment of poisoned wounds is one of the least developed chapters of general surgery. Injections of insects and animals that emit a poisonous secret, damage by objects poisoned by poisonous substances, poisoning with chemical compounds (aniline ink, pencils, BOV) - all this constitutes a group of poisoned wounds (Vvedensky [1]). The latter include poisoning caused by snake venom.
