Share with you the problems that should be avoided during the collection
process.
Coronavirus Swab
1. Remove the old dressing and necrotic tissue remaining on the wound
All dressings, gauze, and other materials should be removed before sampling the wound secretion culture swab. Any dry exudate or necrotic tissue should also be gently removed from the wound with warm saline. Although some clinicians believe that leaving some residue on the wound will increase the chance of recovery from the infected organism, it also increases the possibility of infection in the patient.
2. Dry swabs on dry wounds
Samples of dry wounds should always be taken with swabs dipped in sterile saline solution. When using a dry swab, the chance of collecting any organisms is very small.
3. Wipe only one area
When sampling, the swab is very important to describe the wound thoroughly, usually a ten-point collection method is required. Different organisms located in different parts of the wound may interact and react in the patient's body, or the patient may have two different infections and require multiple treatments.
4. Complete paperwork within a few hours after the procedure ends
It is key to complete all documents immediately after taking the swab. You will be more likely to remember certain things about the wound (discoloration, temperature) and the patient (temperament, any other symptoms), which can better inform the test
