Do IVF babies need to be sedated with drugs?
In recent years, the development of IVF technology has enabled many couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their dreams of childbirth. However, sometimes couples may need to consider the issue of birth reduction. When performing IVF reduction surgery, some people mistakenly think that drug sedation is necessary. Is this view correct? This article will discuss this issue from multiple perspectives.
Why do IVF babies need sedatives?
First, we need to understand the concept of IVF reduction. Test tube baby reduction means that one or more of the multiple pregnancies are selected to continue pregnancy, thereby reducing the risk of twin or multiple pregnancies. When performing fetal reduction surgery, doctors need to use sedatives to keep patients calm and painless. Sedatives can make patients relaxed, reduce discomfort during the operation, and help doctors carry out the operation smoothly.
However, not all fetal reduction operations require the use of sedatives. Whether or not to use sedative drugs depends on individual differences of patients and specific surgical conditions. The doctor will judge whether to use sedatives according to the patient's physical condition and surgical difficulty. Ensuring the safety and comfort of patients is the primary consideration of doctors.
Sedatives in IVF reduction surgery
Common sedatives used for IVF reduction surgery include morphine, diazepam, etc. These drugs can calm and relax by acting on the central nervous system and inhibiting nerve transmission. The dosage and mode of drug use will be adjusted according to the patient's condition and surgical needs.
In some complicated fetal reduction operations, doctors may also use general anesthesia to ensure the comfort and safety of patients. General anesthesia is to make patients unconscious through intravenous injection of drugs, so as to realize the feasibility and safety of surgery.
Precautions after IVF reduction operation
After IVF reduction surgery, patients need to pay attention to rest and maintain good eating habits. Try to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting to avoid abdominal pain and bleeding. In addition, it is also very important to see a doctor in time and follow the doctor's instructions.
The IVF reduction operation is a complex medical process, and the doctor will decide whether to use sedatives according to the patient's specific conditions and surgical needs. Not all fetal reduction operations require drug sedation, which needs to be determined according to the professional opinion of the doctor. Before any operation, the patient should communicate with the doctor in detail and understand the operation process and matters needing attention.
Summary
In IVF reduction surgery, the use of sedatives can improve the smooth operation and patient comfort. Common sedatives include morphine, diazepam, etc. Some operations may require general anesthesia. However, not all fetal reduction operations require the use of sedatives, and the specific use of drugs should be based on the professional judgment of doctors. After the operation, the patient needs to pay attention to rest and diet, follow the doctor's instructions, and go to the doctor in time. IVF reduction is a complex medical process, and patients should fully communicate with doctors to jointly develop their own treatment plan.
