Anesthesia/analgesia management in oocyte retrieval procedures plays a pivotal role in ensuring patient comfort, safety, and procedural success in in vitro fertilization treatment. This mini review addresses pre-/periprocedural considerations, choice of anesthesia techniques and anesthetic drugs to provide adequate pain relief and comfort tailored to individual patient needs, through conscious sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia in patients scheduled for transvaginal ultrasound guided oocyte retrieval. Clinicians must consider patient comorbidities, medication history, and procedural requirements when selecting anesthesia techniques.

Transvajinal ultrason eşliğinde oosit toplama işleminde anestezi yönetimi: Mini derleme

Öz

Oosit toplama işlemlerinde anestezi/analjezi yönetimi, in vitro fertilizasyon tedavisinde hasta konforunun, güvenliğinin ve prosedürel başarının sağlanmasında çok önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu mini derleme, transvajinal ultrason eşliğinde oosit toplanması planlanan hastalarda bilinçli sedasyon, rejyonal anestezi veya genel anestezi yoluyla bireysel hasta ihtiyaçlarına göre yeterli analjezi ve konfor sağlamak için işlem öncesi/işlem sırasındaki hususları, anestezi tekniklerinin ve anestezik ilaçların seçimini ele almaktadır. Klinisyenler anestezi tekniklerini seçerken hastanın komorbiditelerini, ilaç kullanımlarını ve prosedürel gereklilikleri göz önünde bulundurmalıdır.
