Easiest solution of all:
 
Grab the sword, turn completely around, throw the sword and immediately take
one step forward.
 
There's no reason to take more than a few points damage from the first
poison trap if you step out of it quickly.  The other poison traps are only
triggered if you're holding the sword, so you can leisurely walk back to the
door, open it, then take the sword and walk out almost untouched...
