Recently, many of you have gone for another throat swab nucleic acid test, so what do you need to pay attention to before doing the throat swab? Here is a look together

According to experts, our respiratory tract is divided into the upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract, the upper respiratory tract includes the nose, throat and throat. The lower respiratory tract includes the bronchial tubes, trachea and lungs. We know that the nuclear nucleic acid test is used as a basis for pathogenic diagnosis, and the general nucleic acid test specimen is collected from the deep sputum to do specimen testing.

Pharyngeal swabs are divided into nasopharyngeal swabs and oropharyngeal swabs, and those collected from the mouth are generally called oropharyngeal swabs and those collected from the nose are called nasopharyngeal swabs. Currently, most hospitals use oropharyngeal swabs because they are easy to collect and less painful for the patient.

Since China is now at the end of the summer solstice and the weather is relatively dry, a few notes have been compiled for your reference.

①, it is recommended that you bring some water, because the weather is dry and thirst is inevitable during the queuing process, so you need to try to keep your throat moist before the examination, you can drink a small amount of water, but don't drink 30 minutes before the collection.

②, because to collect samples of the throat may cause throat discomfort, so it is not recommended to take throat swabs after a full meal or after drinking alcohol, and be sure to pay attention to 30 minutes before sampling should not drink, smoke, chew gum or betel nut, etc.

③, before sampling to avoid eating irritating, strong-tasting food, should be a light diet.

④, 30 minutes before specimen collection, you should not use mouthwash with disinfectant drugs or apply anti-inflammatory drugs on the throat (oral cavity) area.

⑤. You should take the initiative to cooperate with the doctor to check personal information and inform your condition to facilitate cooperation.

(6) To improve the accuracy of the results, it is recommended to wear a mask to cover the nose and mouth before taking the sample and cough, then tilt your head slightly to cooperate with the doctor and say "Ah~" in a long voice.

It is recommended that you bring paper with you, wrap it in paper and put it in a uniform garbage can for disinfection. Always do personal disinfection upon arrival home, such as hand washing and laundry.
