nucleic acid detection is a common detection method, which can play a very good role in epidemic prevention to a certain extent, and can detect whether it is infected with virus within a few hours, and many people will do nucleic acid detection. To do nucleic acid testing, you usually have to go to a regular hospital or a professional testing institution, and pharmacies usually can't do nucleic acid testing. Can a nucleic acid testing pharmacy do it?
Under normal circumstances, pharmacies can't do nucleic acid testing, and they don't have the qualification to do it.
Generally speaking, regular hospitals can conduct accounting and testing. People who need nucleic acid testing can make an appointment online or by phone, or they can directly register for testing in a regular hospital. At present, the popular test method is nasal swab test. Generally speaking, patients don't need special contraindications, as long as they don't smoke or drink alcohol before the test. In the process of collecting samples, subjects may have pain, sneezing and other related symptoms. Subjects don't have to worry too much and need to actively cooperate with medical staff.
The method of nucleic acid detection is to clean the oral cavity of the subject, and then wipe the throat and tonsils of the subject with a cotton swab test paper for sampling.
If the test result is negative, it indicates that the patient has not been infected with Covid-19 for the time being. If the test result is positive, it means that Covid-19 test has been carried out at this time, and isolation and further treatment are needed.
At present, there are two methods for nucleic acid detection, one is nasal swab, and the other is throat swab. At present, the commonly used method is throat swab, because virus infection is usually sent to the oral mucosa epithelium of the host, and samples can be taken through throat swab. Novel coronavirus is commonly used to check diseases and is also used as the gold standard for new coronavirus infection. Is it effective for pharmacies to do nucleic acid testing?
Generally speaking, it is impossible to do it, which is invalid.
nucleic acid detection mainly includes throat swab, nasal swab, induced sputum and lower respiratory tract secretion detection. Blood antibody detection can also be carried out according to the needs of the disease. Antibody detection mainly includes IgG and IgM detection.
if the nucleic acid test and IgG and IgM test are positive, it indicates that the patient has a new coronavirus infection. It is necessary to isolate and observe asymptomatic infected people immediately. Patients with symptoms need immediate treatment and isolation to avoid infecting others.
The living environment of patients should be disinfected regularly and timely, and good ventilation should be maintained. Increasing nutrition in diet, proper physical exercise, maintaining a good attitude and avoiding excessive depression and anxiety are conducive to promoting the recovery of the disease as soon as possible. Precautions for nucleic acid detection 1. Bring your ID card and mobile phone
before going out; Wash your hands and wear a mask correctly, and it is best to prepare another mask; You can carry hand sanitizer with you and disinfect your hands in time after sampling. 2.
Try not to take public transportation when going out. It is recommended to walk, take a bus or take a private car to the sampling point for nucleic acid detection. If you need to take public transportation, please wear a mask correctly all the way. Try to keep a safe distance on the way, avoid contact with public facilities and articles, and avoid contact with mouth, nose and eyes. 3. Before sampling
After arriving at the sampling point, queue up in order. Make sure to keep a safe distance, wear a mask during the whole process, and don't talk to anyone. Cover your cough with a tissue or elbow to avoid the risk of droplet transmission. Cooperate with the guidance of on-site staff to take samples in an orderly manner. 4.
During sampling, hands, limbs or personal belongings should not touch the testing table and the protective clothing of medical staff. If you want to cough, sneeze or vomit when collecting throat swabs, remember not to face the medical staff or other people, and try to prepare paper towels or face the ground. 5.
After sampling and collection, wash your hands immediately or wipe your hands with hands-free disinfectant, and wear a spare mask. Put the waste mask into the designated medical trash can. Leave immediately and don't spit everywhere.
