Nasal swab painful

Posted on 2021年8月27日2022年3月22日 by Dr. Lee

People often feel scared during the sampling process using nasopharyngeal swabs. However, is it really painful to use a nasopharyngeal swab?

It is certain that nasopharyngeal swab testing does not produce painful symptoms, but some patients may feel uncomfortable.

The doctor used a medical flocked swab to enter the nasopharynx and then took a small amount of secretions. The hospital can isolate pathogenic bacteria through bacterial culture.

During the operation of the sampler, the patient will have slight nausea and discomfort, which is generally within a tolerable range. The medical staff’s techniques are gentle and skilled, so there is no pain. We can check the bacteria that cause the infection through nasopharyngeal swabs, and select targeted drugs for treatment based on the results of the tests.

Which is painful, nasal swab or throat swab？

In contrast, nasal swabs are more painful. Pharyngeal swab is the behavior that doctors use a medical flocked swab to dip secretions from the throat for monitoring. During the collection of pharyngeal swab, the tested person may have symptoms of nausea and vomiting without other obvious pain. Nasal swab is to insert a cotton swab into the deep part of the nasal cavity to dip secretions for monitoring.

Nasal swab test

Posted on 2021年8月25日2021年8月25日 by Dr. Lee

We used pharyngeal swabs to collect samples from nucleic acid samples. They are “nasopharyngeal swab” and “oropharyngeal swab”.

Nasopharynx swab and oropharyngeal swab only have different sampling paths. Oropharyngeal swab is to collect oropharyngeal specimens by entering the sampling swab through the mouth. And nasopharyngeal swab is to collect nasopharyngeal specimens through the nose.

Nasopharyngeal swab sampling process

Oropharyngeal flocked swab sampling process

The pharynx includes nasopharynx, oropharynx and pharynx, all of which belong to the field of upper respiratory tract.The sampling methods of nasopharyngeal swab and oropharyngeal swab are different.

PCR test can collect nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum and other lower respiratory tract secretions, blood, feces and other specimens for testing, nucleic acid detection by New Coronavirus.If its specimen nucleic acid is positive, it can clear the virus infection.

New Coronavirus infection mainly invades bronchial epithelial cells and alveolar epithelial cells. Lower respiratory tract specimens, such as sputum and airway extracts, more accurately reflect virus infection.

Advantages of nasal swabs

More specimens can be obtained by staying in the pharynx for a long time, which is also the reason why the positive rate reported in the literature is higher than that of oropharyngeal swabs.

np swab vs op swab

Posted on 2021年8月23日2022年3月22日 by Dr. Lee

Since the end of July, COVID-19 has been scattered everywhere. Universal COVID-19 nucleic acid detection has been opened in many parts of the world. After several rounds of nucleic acid sampling and testing, many citizens have some doubts. What are the differences between nasopharyngeal test and oropharyngeal swab sampling?

What are the ways of sampling the nucleic acid of the SARS-CoV-2?

nucleic acid samples collected through the nasal cavity are called “nasopharyngeal swabs”. Samples collected through the mouth are called “oropharyngeal swabs”. Both are the main ways to collect samples from COVID-19 nucleic acid detection. In addition, there are deep expectoration fluid, nasopharyngeal or respiratory tract extract, bronchial lavage fluid, and alveolar lavage fluid.

how to choose nasopharyngeal swabs and oropharyngeal swabs?

Whether to choose nasopharyngeal swabs or oropharyngeal swabs, mainly follows the following principles: first, according to the eighth edition of the prevention and control plan and the second edition of COVID-19 nucleic acid testing manual, the first choice is to collect nasopharyngeal swabs while collecting nucleic acid samples. Secondly, asymptomatic infected persons, entry personnel and close contacts should collect nasopharyngeal swabs during isolation observation; Third, due to the relatively simple operation of oropharyngeal swabs, more oropharyngeal swabs should be collected when nucleic acid detection is carried out in low-risk areas.

why should nasopharyngeal swabs be collected first?

The study shows that the detection rate of COVID-19 nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swabs is higher than that in oropharyngeal swabs, because the nasopharyngeal cavity is relatively closed and the virus is easier to accumulate. Secondly, the sampler can stand behind the patient’s side. The patient only needs to expose his nostrils, and there is basically no pharyngeal reflex. The exposure risk of the sampler is lower and safer than that of the oropharyngeal swab. However, whether it is oropharyngeal swab or nasopharyngeal swab, the key is that the collection action should be standardized, in place and meet the standards. As long as the collection is standardized, both methods can achieve the expected detection purpose.

Oral sampling display picture

Use steps

1. Tear off the sealing paper on the packaging bag of the oral swab, and suck the inhaled contaminated swab from the swab. Note that the swab head is in contact with other items other than the oral wall and cannot be sucked.

2. Hold the oral swab to stretch out the oral wall, rotate the oral mucosa for 10-15 times, and then up and down 5-10 times, rub it moderately, and it is advisable to put the oral cavity close to the inner mucosa to ensure that the sampling tip sucks the wall everywhere Exfoliated cells from the oral mucosa; follow the same method and collect them on the other side of the oral cavity.

3. After the collection, the oral swab is taken out of the oral test tube, and the sample is natively sampled. The sampling handle with the broken mark is broken, the sampling sampling tube cover tube, and the final extraction is attached to the link between the sampling test tube cover and the tube cover. Dry it in time and send it for inspection.

Matters needing attention

1. Do not touch the sampling head with your hands or other objects.

2. Do not smoke, drink, or eat 30 minutes before sampling.

3. The oral swab is a disposable product and should not be used twice.

4. Do not use if the package is damaged.

Product features

1. Adopt internationally accepted paper-plastic packaging which is convenient for sterilization.

2. Gamma ray sterilization to ensure sterility.

3. Each set in the large packing box is individually packaged for easy use.

4. Different preservation solutions are selected for different types of specimens.

Advantage

1. The unique spray-type implanting nylon fiber technology increases the collection and release of specimens.

2. The swab has a total length of 14.5cm, and the plastic rod has a unique breakable design.

3. The fluffy texture can collect more target analytes.

4. There is no residual amount of specimens, which speeds up the processing of specimens.

5. The swab is sterilized and individually packaged.

CM Nylon Flocking Swabs have undergone a large number of clinical experiments to show that, compared with ordinary sterile cotton swabs, CM Nylon Flocking Swabs have a better effect on the collection and transportation of clinical microbial specimens. This is especially true for those specimens that cannot be submitted for inspection in time and have been placed for too long.

What is antibody testing

Posted on 2021年8月19日2021年8月19日 by Dr. Lee

What is antibody testing

Before explaining this method, let’s first understand what antibodies are.

The rapid immunoglobulin M (IgM) test paper developed by Chinese academicians is not only a remedy for false negative sampling, but also a method for detecting antibodies.

After the virus invades the body, it likes to kill directly into the cell and hide in it to copy its offspring crazily.

Of course, before entering the cell, B lymphocytes (a kind of white blood cells) find some viruses. B cells are activated and release a large number of antibodies. These antibodies bind to the virus, make the virus lose its ability to invade, and then phagocytes destroy the virus. We call this process humoral immunity.

The antibody is fast and powerful, but the disadvantage is that it can not enter the cell to kill virus. In short, antibodies can reduce the number of viruses in body fluids and prevent more cells from being infected.

There are 5 kinds of antibodies, namely IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE, with different characteristics and specialties.

When the body is stimulated by COVID-19, IgM will appear in a week or so. Based on this, by detecting whether the IgM in the human body increases significantly, we can indirectly identify whether the human body is infected or not.

How to use CM nasal swab

Nasopharyngeal swab sampling process

1. Please keep the subject’s head still and remove the secretions on the surface of the anterior nostril.

2. Use a swab or other tool to measure the distance from the nostril to the root of the ear and mark it with your fingers.

3. Insert the swab gently and slowly through the nasal cavity (if both nostrils need to be collected, another swab should be used).

4. Swab to the finger mark or stay for several seconds after encountering resistance to absorb secretions (generally stay for 15 ~ 30 seconds, and then rotate gently for 3 times).

5. Gently rotate and take out the swab and place it in the virus sampling tube (transport medium); Break the swab tail rod along the breaking point and place it completely in the tube. Tighten the pipe cover.

6. Note the information of the tested person and send it to the laboratory for inspection as soon as possible.
