Hemodynamic parameters and reproductive outcome after intracytoplasmic sperm injection and fresh embryo transfer in patients undergoing oocyte retrieval with general anesthesia using fentanyl, remifentanil or alfentanil – A randomized clinical trial

comparative study between general anesthesia and conscious sedation for oocyte retrieval on hemodynamic recovery and oocyte quality

“…Infertility is a significant problem worldwide, its impact is multidimensional where it is well known that infertility has an impact on the mental health of infertile couples, such as anxiety and depression and even the sexual function, on the other hand its impact extends to quality of life and the acceptability of treatment modalities (1) . So over time, different assisted reproduction techniques, like ICSI and other techniques have emerged and facilitate the possibility of achieving a pregnancy more and more frequently (2,3) , however, there are still few countries with public strategies that can support this problem, and those in developing countries cannot do so because it is very expensive, in the past three decades , ART became available particularly in private clinics but rarely in publicly funded institutes (4) .…”

High satisfaction among women undergoing oocyte retrieval without anesthesia in a well-selected patient population

“…These studies have looked at oocyte yield, fertilization rate, embryo development, as well as pregnancy outcomes. Although many studies do not show a difference in pregnancy outcomes (2), some studies demonstrate differences in fertilization rates (3). This has led some providers to perform oocyte retrieval without anesthesia.…”
