Abstract

 The research which i have conducted is regarding the assessment of both the qualitative and quantitative knowledge both doctors and the common man possess regarding the first aid management of snake enevenomationthe reason that motivated me to perform this particular research is that i am a person belonging to Andhra Pradesh, brought up in Rajasthan and underwent ug education at Kerala. These three states are just some of the most snale infested states. On my experience i found that the knowledge possessed by the people regarding the management of snake bite poisoning is very limited.The times of India article dated dec 6, 2011 states that nearly 46,000 people die due to snake envenomation. But majority of the Indians don’t know about this fact.To gather information regarding this research, I assessed nearly 100 doctors randomly selected over various specialities. I also assessed nearly 300 common people. The assessment was based on a questionnaire answering process which was given to them on paper and which in turn were submitted in written.At the end over the research I discovered that approximately 60% of doctors and approximately 85% of common people did not know the basic first aid management of snake envenomation poisoning.The implication of my research is to not only to assess the knowledge of first aid management regarding management of snake poisoning but also to provide with the correct management protocols. This is because more than half of people bitten by snakes can be saved from death if proper first aid management techniques applied.
