NCT00636116

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish if F(ab)2 antivenom (Anavip) is safe for crotalinae envenomation. Confirm its effectiveness in preventing the occurrence of delayed coagulopathies and compare the safety and efficacy with Fab antivenom (CroFab) in patients with Crotalinae envenomation.
