The support of posterior nasal endoscopy in obtaining nasopharyngeal swab during COVID-19

Introduction: In relation to the nasopharynx swab samples, necessary to identify SARS-CoV-2, various problems have been reported, such as: delays in viral identification, high percentages of false negative PCR and viral presence in asymptomatic patients. This, and because the swab is performed witho...

description Introduction: In relation to the nasopharynx swab samples, necessary to identify SARS-CoV-2, various problems have been reported, such as: delays in viral identification, high percentages of false negative PCR and viral presence in asymptomatic patients. This, and because the swab is performed without intranasal vision, suggests the need to improve the process of obtaining the nasopharyngeal swab sample, the most important step in viral identification. Description: Because nasal endoscopy is a procedure that provides direct visualization of intranasal structures; We propose its use to support laboratory personnel in obtaining the nasopharyngeal swab, allowing to improve the quality of the sample, with greater possibilities of early viral identification in COVID-19 patients. In addition, performing endoscopy through a posterior approach would reduce the risk of contagion from the personnel who perform it. Conclusion: We propose the use of posterior nasal endoscopy as support in obtaining the nasopharyngeal swab sample, to improve the identification of SARS-CoV-2. Its realization by means of the posterior approach, would avoid the contagion of the personnel who perform it.

Introducción: En relación a las muestras de hisopado de nasofaringe, necesarias para identificar al SARS-CoV-2, se han reportado diversos problemas como: retrasos en la identificación viral, elevados porcentajes de falsos negativos de PCR y presencia viral en pacientes asintomáticos. Lo anterior, y debido a que el hisopado se realiza sin visión intranasal, sugiere la necesidad de mejorar el proceso de obtención de la muestra del hisopado nasofaríngeo, el paso más importante en la identificación viral.   Descripción: Debido a que la endoscopía nasal es un procedimiento que proporciona visualización directa de las estructuras intranasales; proponemos su utilización en apoyo al personal de laboratorio en la obtención del hisopado nasofaríngeo, permitiendo mejorar la calidad de la muestra, con mayores posibilidades de identificación viral precoz en pacientes COVID-19. Además, la realización de la endoscopía mediante un abordaje posterior, disminuiría el riesgo de contagio del personal que lo realiza. Conclusión: Proponemos el uso de la endoscopía nasal posterior como apoyo en la obtención de la muestra del hisopado nasofaríngeo, para mejorar la identificación del SARS-CoV-2. Su realización mediante el abordaje posterior, evitaría el contagio del personal que lo realiza. Introdução: Em relação às amostras de swab nasofaríngeo, necessárias para a identificação da SARS-CoV-2, vários problemas têm sido relatados, tais como: atraso na identificação viral, altas porcentagens de PCRs falso-negativos e presença viral em pacientes assintomáticos. Isso, e porque o swab é realizado sem visão intranasal, sugere a necessidade de melhorar o processo de obtenção da amostra do swab nasofaríngeo, etapa mais importante na identificação viral. Descrição: Porque a endoscopia nasal é um procedimento que permite a visualização direta das estruturas intranasais; Propomos seu uso para auxiliar o pessoal do laboratório na obtenção do swab nasofaríngeo, permitindo melhorar a qualidade da amostra, com maiores possibilidades de identificação viral precoce em pacientes com COVID-19. Além disso, a realização da endoscopia por via posterior reduziria o risco de contágio do pessoal que a realiza. Conclusão: Propomos o uso da endoscopia nasal posterior como suporte na obtenção do swab nasofaríngeo, para melhorar a identificação da SARS-CoV-2. A sua realização por meio da abordagem posterior, evitaria o contágio do pessoal que o realiza. Universidad Nacional Cba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
