Abstract
Approximately 8,000 people a year in the United States are reported to the CDC as sustaining venomous snake bites. Copperhead envenomations comprised 41% of these bites in 2011 and are the predominant poisonous snake in the Southeastern United States. Unlike rattlesnake envenomation, there is limited evidence regarding treatment in copperhead predominant populations. Controversy exists as to the appropriateness and effectiveness of treatment in this population, creating the potential for wide practice variation amongst providers and emergency departments (EDs).
