Herpetologist Details His Envenomation and Death

nock says...

DIC is extremely tricky to treat and he would likely have died either way. The only consensus guidelines are to treat the underlying cause, which in his case was antivenin. Treatment with platelet transfusions and FFP are recommended only in certain circumstances (such as emergent surgery) and even this recommendation is without strong supporting evidence for its efficacy. Added FFP and platelets without treating the underlying cause can exacerbate end organ thrombosis. This thrombosis may be treated paradoxically with heparin.

Note that in the absence of antivenom, DIC and respiratory suppression can be managed in an Intensive care setting - blood transfusions and fresh plasma for coagulation deficiencies would have been available at this time so it would have bene worth a try. I doubt that he underestimated the venom - bleeding from the gums is a clear sign of systemic coagulopathy which was not going to clear by itself and any herpetologist worth his salt would know that.

I think you'd probably be disappointed. There's no water going over the edge, so they'd just bump up against the submerged lip of the overflow dike. I'm pretty certain they edited the video for effect.
