Multidisciplinary collaborative treatment of 48 cases of village cluster acute nitrite poisoning: A case series study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

This report aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidepartment collaborative response system in managing a large-scale nitrite poisoning incident in rural China, focusing on organizational strategies and clinical interventions.

Patient concerns

Forty-eight villagers collectively developed symptoms after a village banquet, primarily including dizziness, vomiting, and cyanosis of the lips and nail beds. The onset of symptoms occurred 0.5 to 1.5 hours after ingestion.

Diagnoses

Based on the diagnostic criteria for acute dietary nitrite poisoning and confirmed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) laboratory tests showing elevated nitrite levels in biological samples (>15 mg/kg), all patients were definitively diagnosed with acute nitrite pois
