They are the end of the virus, they are the closest to the droplets, they are the "warriors" on the front line of the fight against the epidemic who may be only a few dozen centimeters away from the patients, they are the throat swab sampling personnel.
In order to do a good job of epidemic prevention and control and investigation, according to the overall arrangement of the Corps Epidemic Prevention and Control Command, from July 20, the Seventh Division Hospital took up the task of completing the nucleic acid testing of the existing medical observation personnel, key populations and related personnel within the jurisdiction of the Seventh Division.
Nucleic acid testing work requires pharyngeal swab collection first. Pharyngeal swab collection is an important test to detect the presence or absence of infection with the New Coronavirus and is one of the most dangerous tasks in the prevention and control of the New Coronavirus outbreak. Due to the conditioned reflex, patients often can't help but cough, sneeze or even vomit when sampling, and the resulting gush of droplets may be the source of the frightening poison.

Liu Chao, a nurse in the emergency department, said with conviction. Liu Chao took the initiative to apply to the hospital infection department to care for confirmed patients during the epidemic at the beginning of the year.
In the face of this high-intensity, high-stress, high-risk pharyngeal swab collection, the nursing staff of the Seventh Division Hospital volunteered to fight.
In the afternoon of July 20, a pharyngeal swab collection team consisting of 79 nursing staff was established, and the pharyngeal swab collection work of the relevant personnel in the jurisdiction of the Seventh Division was fully launched.
Let the person being collected open his mouth, the tongue depressor into the patient's mouth to press the tongue, and then the swab carefully and quickly into the pharynx, fly light swab ...... such operations, seven division hospital pharyngeal swab collection team of nursing staff to do thousands of times a day. During the collection process they have to put on boot covers, isolation suits, protective clothing, goggles and double masks, in addition to multiple layers of protective gloves and face masks, etc.
"Because wearing thick, soon sweat, now is the volcano day, very hot, we work clothes in a short time clothes wet, protective clothing is very good airtight, just put on not long will feel breathless, plus a set of protective equipment such as masks, masks and goggles, instantly can feel chest tightness and breath-holding." Chen Wei, head nurse of the second department of general surgery, said. "Wearing heavy protective clothing, carrying specimen collection boxes, and sometimes climbing stairs to consume energy, it is really hard to breathe after sweat wetting the mask ......," said Lv Ying, head nurse of the endocrinology department. "The palms of the hands are so strangled by the gloves that it hurts to hold them gently, and the skin on the forehead and nose is also broken, and it hurts when sweat soaks in, but it's hard to bear it any longer as long as you grit your teeth and insist on completing the task as fast as possible.
" said Zhu Liping, head nurse of oncology department. Chen Wei, Lu Ying and Zhu Liping were also involved in pharyngeal swab collection during the epidemic at the beginning of the year.

Although we can not run to Urumqi to support the front line, but we can not forget our mission and responsibility!"
Since the pharyngeal swab sampling work started, the pharyngeal swab sampling team of Seventh Division Hospital has collected tens of thousands of specimens so far. The work of the sampling team has never stopped even before the epidemic is over. As the scope of testing expands and the workload becomes increasingly heavy, the nursing staff of the collection team gradually accumulates experience, operates more and more quickly and the process becomes more and more perfect, despite the gradual increase in workload. It is the high intensity, high pressure and high risk that created a skilled and fearless pharyngeal swab collection team, and they are confident about the next work.
They believe that as long as they have firm confidence, work together and guard strictly, they will win this epidemic prevention and control battle! Go Seventh Division Hospital! Let's overcome the virus together and restore the usual calm!
