351 Hematologic Findings of Venom-Induced Consumption Coagulopathy following Korean Viper (Gloydius Species) Bite

Recent studies have demonstrated that coagulopathy following snake envenomation is a venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC), in which venom activates coagulation factors at specific points rather than an entire pathway. The objectives of this study were to determine what factors are consumed when severe coagulopathy after Korean viper (Gloydius species) bite develops and what factors should be used to monitor the venom activity.
