Abstract:

This article summarized the emergency nursing experience in managing five patients with Gelsemium elegans poisoning. In view of the toxin’s rapid absorption,short clearance window,and the patients’ sudden onset of consciousness disturbance and respiratory failure,inter-institutional collaboration was implemented to ensure timely information exchange and rapid transfer. In the emergency department,ultrasound-guided lateral decubitus gastric lavage combined with subglottic aspiration was performed to enhance toxin clearance. In the ICU,respiratory and circulatory functions were closely monitored,and continuous hemofiltration was applied to accelerate toxin elimination. After active treatment and nursing care,the patients were discharged in a stable condition and remained in good health during follow-up.
