Pressure Immobilisation Technique: Why It Works for Snakebite and Venomous Bites

The pressure immobilisation technique is a first aid method used to slow the spread of venom after certain bites and stings.

This slows lymphatic movement, which helps delay venom travelling through the body until medical treatment is available.
