A new round of nucleic acid screening in Shanghai requires residents in closed areas to stay indoors. What should I pay attention to in nucleic acid screening?

Precautions for nucleic acid screening: Stop eating two hours before operation to avoid vomiting. Cooperate with medical staff during the operation to facilitate medical staff to take samples. Leave the collection point immediately after the operation.

According to the latest instructions of the Shanghai conference on epidemic prevention and control, the new round of nucleic acid screening in Shanghai requires that residents should not leave their residences during the risk control period, that is, residents should not leave their residences. If they want to take express delivery and throw garbage, they must have the help of community property and volunteers. Nucleic acid testing can only wait for the medical staff to come to the door. So what should we pay attention to in nucleic acid screening?

First, pay attention to stop eating before surgery. Stop eating two hours before nucleic acid preparation to avoid vomiting during sampling, and avoid drinking water, smoking, drinking and chewing gum for the first 30 minutes to avoid affecting the test results.

Second, pay attention to relax as much as possible when operating. In the process of nucleic acid detection, you must relax your body and open your mouth to make a sound, so as to complete the collection of nucleic acid well. Some people are too nervous, and there may be irritating dry cough, nausea and vomiting during the collection process. Secondly, if a nasal swab is collected, people with a history of nasal surgery must inform the medical staff in advance to avoid causing adverse reactions.

Third, pay attention to leave as soon as possible after the operation. After the nucleic acid collection is completed, you must obey the order and leave as soon as possible, so as not to affect the people behind you to do nucleic acid. Pay attention to personal protection when leaving the site, wear a mask, prepare alcohol or disinfectant to maintain hand hygiene, and follow the instructions of the site personnel during the whole sampling process so as not to disturb the order.

Finally: during the epidemic, nucleic acid preparation is a very common thing. We should know the precautions in advance to avoid some mistakes. At the same time, we should also understand that it is not easy for our frontline staff to make so many nucleic acids every day. What we have to do is to respond positively, act quickly and queue up for nucleic acid preparation without adding unnecessary burden to them.
