Susheel Kumar: High Frequency of Coagulopathy in Adult Snakebite Patients at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Karachi
Susheel Kumar, House Officer at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in CME Journal Geriatric Medicine, adding:
“I’m pleased to share the publication of our research:
‘Frequency of Coagulopathy at Initial Presentation Among Adult Snakebite Patients at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Karachi.’
Published in the CME Journal Geriatric Medicine.
Our study evaluated coagulation abnormalities among adult patients presenting with snakebite at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi.
Coagulopathy was found to be a frequent finding at initial presentation, highlighting the importance of early clinical assessment and comprehensive coagulation testing in patients with suspected haemotoxic envenomation.
I’m grateful to my co-authors, mentors, and everyone who contributed to bringing this work to publication.
It has been a valuable experience being involved in clinical research addressing an important emergency medicine problem in our setting.”
