Почему мазок из носа лучше, чем мазок из ротовой полости, для выявления Covid-19?

В чем разница между мазком из полости носа и мазком из полости рта?

По словам заместителя главного врача Цай Юэсинь, некоторые области глотки включают носоглотку, ротоглотка, и гортанно-глоточный. Слизистые оболочки трех сплошные и относятся к области ?верхние дыхательные пути. Nasal swabs and oral swabs only take different sampling paths. The sampling is an oropharyngeal swab, and the nasal sampling is a nasal swab. Однако, because the oral swab can be operated by opening the mouth, это относительно просто, поэтому его чаще используют в клинической практике, but the risk of exposure of the sampler is higher.

Why choose nasopharyngeal swab training instead of oropharyngeal swab training? According to Deputy Chief Physician Liang Faya, although oral sampling oropharyngeal swabs are the most commonly used, this operation is also a high-risk operation. Оператору часто приходится стоять лицом ко рту пациента., and the patient is prone to irritating dry cough, vomiting and other symptoms during the collection process. Expose the collector to aerosols carrying the virus.

Deputy Director Liang Faya said that nasal swabs have the following advantages over oral swabs.

1. It can stay in the pharynx for a longer period of time in order to obtain more sufficient samples. This is also the reason why the positive rate is higher than that of oral swabs reported in the literature.

2. The patient is well tolerated, and can basically take samples without anesthesia after proficient operation, but the surface anesthesia and contraction of the nasal mucosa can be performed at the beginning.

3. The exposure risk of the sampler is lower than that of the oral swab, because our sampler can stand behind the patient when sampling, and the patient is required to pull down the mask to expose only the nostrils, cover the oral cavity, and do not need to look directly at the patient’s oral cavity, and There is basically no pharyngeal reflex, and a few patients may have sneeze reflex after sampling. The patient can be covered by elbows or tissues, and because the sampler is not in front of the patient, the exposure risk is quite lower, so the psychological pressure of the sampler will not be so great.
