Anesthesia options for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) include propofol and remifentanil, which appear safe but require further investigation. More research is needed to confirm the safety of these agents for IVF procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a common assisted reproductive technology.
  • Anesthesia plays a crucial role in patient comfort and procedural success during IVF.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent literature on anesthesia for in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of recent studies on anesthesia for IVF.

Main Results:

  • Limited new data available.
  • Propofol is a potential option for anesthesia/sedation during IVF, but further research is needed to confirm its safety.
  • Remifentanil is an effective alternative anesthetic agent for IVF.

Conclusions:
