What is current Snake bite immediate treatment?

Hey all,

Title sums it up. However let me add some details. I DO NOT need noob advice. I am looking for the latest recommended procedure for immediate treatment prior to EVAC. The reason is, I have students in remote areas with potential for run ins with Western diamondbacks and other associated rattlers. Our MEDEVAC capability is severely limited due to the remoteness of the site, trained personnel and Transportation, it will take us roughly one hour to get a bite victim to Medical facility. This being said, I need advice on immediate treatment, during that hour. Thanks in advance.
