Can you smoke before a nucleic acid test

Can you smoke before a nucleic acid test, there are currently 2 main types of nucleic acid test reagents and immunoassay reagents in the Neococcal Virus test kits, and nucleic acid test is recognized as the most reliable standard method of diagnosing Neococcal Pneumonia. Nucleic acid testing is usually done through the oral or nasal cavity by swabbing the pharynx to collect secretions.

Can you smoke before the nucleic acid test1

Don't smoke two hours before the nucleic acid test, as it can affect the results of the nucleic acid test. Nucleic acid testing is usually done through the mouth or nasal cavity with a swab of pharyngeal . Secretions, to perform the test. Since the novel coronavirus is a respiratory virus, the pharyngeal secretions of an infected person will have a large amount of the novel coronavirus present, so if the patient smokes half an hour before the pharyngeal swab is taken, it will cause an increase in the pharyngeal secretions, coughing, and spitting, making the nucleic acid test a false negative. In addition to not smoking, 2 hours before the pharyngeal swab collection, you can not eat, the first half hour can not chew gum, drink water, etc..

What to do if you smoked before the nucleic acid test

If you smoked half an hour before the test, you can consult with the relevant personnel to see if you can continue to carry out the test, and if you can't, you can delay the test, and you can usually get a normal test after half an hour.

Currently, there are two main types of ICV test kits: nucleic acid and immunoassay, and the nucleic acid test is recognized as the most reliable standard method for diagnosing ICV. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by a positive nucleic acid test, but it should be noted that 30 minutes before the nucleic acid test sample, please do not smoke, drink alcohol, chewing gum, the test subject should wear a mask, and prepare a spare mask.

Generally speaking, from a clinical point of view, 2 hours before the nucleic acid test, it is best not to eat or drink, because the nucleic acid test is usually required to take nasopharyngeal swabs or pharyngeal swabs specimens for testing, in the process of taking these specimens, sometimes there may be some uncomfortable symptoms, resulting in food spit out. Secondly, you should not smoke, drink alcohol or chew gum half an hour before the nucleic acid test, as this may affect the results.

What to pay attention to when doing the nucleic acid test

Before sampling

Please carry your ID card with you and open the health code in advance through Alipay, WeChat, etc., and put your own family without a smartphone and will not operate WeChat, The first step is to add the personal information of the elderly and children who do not have a smart phone and do not know how to operate WeChat or Alipay to the health code in advance. (Elderly people or children who do not have a health code can register through their ID cards or household registers.)

Please do not eat 1 hour before sampling, and should not smoke, drink alcohol, chew gum, etc., so as to avoid frequent swallowing to affect the enrichment of viruses in the throat, which will affect the test results

Wear a mask correctly, and only remove the mask when sampling oropharyngeal swabs (please put it on immediately after the sampling is completed), and prepare a spare mask for replacement at any time after the contamination

Please bring tissues with you. Sampling may be uncomfortable, such as tears, sneezing, etc.

The weather is hot, queuing time is relatively long, please listen to the command, consciously maintain an interval of more than 1 meter, do not talk

Please do a good job in the sun, ready to sunscreen and rain gear, etc., and wait for the sampling of the time to replenish the water, salts and minerals

Sampling

Before collecting nasopharyngeal swabs, please inform the sampling personnel in advance whether there is a history of nasal surgery, nasal septum curvature, blood diseases, throat diseases, or taking anticoagulants and other related risk factors;

Sampling process may appear nasal soreness and itchy sensation, stimulate sneezing, please immediately use a tissue (

When collecting oropharyngeal swabs, please tilt your head back slightly and open your mouth to make an "ah" sound; irritating dry cough, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms may occur during the sampling process, so please try to relax and take a deep breath

During the on-site sampling process, please pay attention to hand hygiene, do not touch the sampling table, medical personnel protective clothing, etc., to avoid the use of hand hygiene

Immediately after sampling, please wash your hands or wipe your hands with alcohol, and if you need to change the mask, please put the discarded mask into the designated medical garbage can

After sampling, please leave the sampling site immediately, and do not spit, vomit, or linger in the vicinity of the sampling site. Do not spit, vomit, stay around the sampling site

Due to the current nucleic acid test volume is very large, the test report may be delayed, please pay attention to check the results of the test information; once the test results are positive, please actively cooperate with the medical institutions to do a good job in the follow-up of the investigation, transfer and disposal of work

Haikou set up in these four districts of these places to set up a temporary nucleic acid sampling points, the public can according to their own situation to go to the nucleic acid The public can go to the nucleic acid sampling points according to their own conditions.
