How to take samples from patients with close contacts

As we all know, the current COVID-19 prevention and control situation is still severe, and many places are still being tested by it. Therefore, we must pay high attention to it at all times, actively respond to the country’s call, and participate in nucleic acid testing on time. Based on the principle that everyone must participate, we conducted an emergency drill on how to take samples from close contacts of patients. In order to nip the new coronavirus in the bud as much as possible and protect everyone's health, we conducted a special drill for sampling of close contacts of patients.

Scenario 1: On July Come over for sampling and record the time when the task is received. The sampling nurse quickly communicates with the nucleic acid testing nurse and the Fangcang nurse. After preparing protective equipment and items needed for sampling, she puts on the protective equipment and quickly rushes to the sampling location to take samples.

Scenario 2: After arriving at the sampling location, quickly take samples according to the correct method and correctly record each person's information, return to the fever clinic and record the time.

Scenario 3: After the sampling nurse hands the specimen to the nucleic acid testing nurse, she immediately sends another specimen to the warehouse for testing. When she comes back, she puts all the used items into a double-layered medical garbage bag. Seal the outer surface and spray 84 disinfectant with 1000mg/L effective chlorine, and finally put it into a medical trash can.

Scenario 4: After receiving the specimen, the nucleic acid testing nurse immediately goes on the machine for testing and records the time on the machine and reports it to the hospital leader. Then she disinfects the items in the room, including tables, chairs, floors, etc. with 75% alcohol. Spray, double-layer seal the medical waste bag and spray with alcohol. Only after the nucleic acid test results are reported to the hospital leadership can you leave the room for garbage disposal.

Scenario 5: After the drill, analyze and improve the problems existing during the drill, improve the process as much as possible, and improve everyone's working ability.

The task of epidemic prevention and control has a long way to go. We must maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, take protective measures at all times, wear masks when going out, and wash hands frequently. We will eventually fight against the epidemic. victory.
