Painless Egg Retrieval with Sedation Anesthesia
Feeling very nervous about egg retrieval?
With sedation anesthesia, you can complete egg retrieval without feeling discomfort.
Anesthesiologist Ya-Chin Ko explains:
As times change, more and more people choose to establish their careers before starting a family. As a result, many miss the most suitable age for childbirth.
In addition, life stress, irregular diet, and poor sleep habits have led more people to turn to advanced assisted reproductive technology to fulfill their wish of having children, or to freeze their eggs in order to preserve the opportunity to have the next generation.
Yun-I Fertility Center is a leader in this professional field.
Because we understand the helplessness, uncertainty, and worry patients may feel before surgery, we place great importance on both comfort and safety during egg retrieval procedures.
The entire procedure is performed under intravenous anesthesia administered by an anesthesiologist.
This allows the patient to be fully asleep during egg retrieval, avoiding anxiety and pain, and also preventing unconscious stiffness or movement that could increase the risk during follicle puncture and egg retrieval.
In fact, providing comfortable and appropriate anesthesia during surgery is not only a humane consideration, but also a safety consideration.
What should you pay attention to before anesthesia?
- First, you need to fast for 8 hours, including water.
This allows the stomach to empty and reduces the risk of vomiting or gastroesophageal reflux during surgery, which may lead to dangerous aspiration pneumonia.
- It is very important to understand your history of medication allergies in advance.
Many people know they are allergic to certain medications, but do not know the exact names of those medications.
Severe allergic reactions may even lead to shock, which can be very dangerous.
Therefore, you should know the names of the medications you are allergic to and have them recorded in your medical chart.
It is also recommended to clearly mark them on your National Health Insurance card with a sticker so they can be easily seen.
- If you regularly take any medications, please inform the medical staff in advance.
The doctor will determine whether the medication should be stopped before surgery or continued.
- Please keep at least one finger on your left hand free of nail polish, nail art, or gel manicure.
This is necessary for monitoring blood oxygen levels and vital signs during surgery.
- If you have had any special medical conditions or previous anesthesia experiences, please inform the anesthesiologist before anesthesia.
The doctor will adjust the type and dosage of anesthesia according to your individual condition.
If you pay attention to these points before surgery, then after safely waking up from anesthesia, you will be able to clearly understand the procedure and results from your doctor.
