This can primarily be deduced...
متن کاملAn Experience with Manual Ventilation in Respiratory Paralysis Due to Indian Common Krait (Bungarus Caeruleus) Bite
Background: Bungarus caeruleus (common krait) bite during monsoon season is common in northwest India. Respiratory failure is responsible for high mortality in the victims.
