Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Embryology
  • Clinical Practice Guidelines

Background:

  • Embryo transfer is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures.
  • Variability in embryo transfer techniques can impact clinical outcomes and patient safety.
  • Lack of standardized protocols may lead to suboptimal performance in ART programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a standardized, evidence-based protocol for the embryo transfer procedure.
  • To provide a template that ART practices can adapt for their specific needs.
  • To improve the consistency and safety of embryo transfer in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of published scientific literature on embryo transfer techniques.
  • A survey of common practices among Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) programs.
  • Development of a 12-step standardized protocol based on gathered data.

Main Results:

  • A 12-step template for standardizing the embryo transfer procedure was created.
  • The protocol is supported by scientific evidence and reflects common ART practices.
  • The template provides a framework for ART clinics to establish their own standard operating procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Standardization of the embryo transfer procedure is achievable and beneficial.
  • The proposed 12-step protocol can serve as a valuable tool for ART practices.
  • Adoption of standardized protocols can lead to improved performance and safety in ART.
