What conditions and materials need to be prepared for IVF implantation
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. The fertilized egg is artificially cultivated to the embryonic stage, and then implanted into the mother's uterus for development, finally realizing pregnancy and delivery. Before IVF, a series of conditions and materials need to be prepared. The following is a detailed description from four aspects: hospital selection, medical team, necessary inspection and surgical instruments.
Hospital selection
It is very important to choose a regular hospital, which can provide professional IVF services. First of all, we should choose a special IVF hospital with rich experience, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital or the Assisted Reproduction Center of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University Medical College. Secondly, the equipment and technical level of the hospital are also key factors, including incubator, microscope, centrifuge, etc. In addition, the treatment plan and success rate of the hospital should also be considered, such as understanding the IVF cycle and embryo transfer technology of the hospital.
In addition, the location and traffic convenience of the hospital should be considered so as to be able to see a doctor in time and receive follow-up examinations and observations.
Medical team
IVF needs to be completed by a professional medical team, including reproductive experts, doctors, nurses, etc. These medical workers need to have rich experience and professional knowledge in IVF operation, and should receive corresponding training and continuous education.
In the medical team, not only skilled technical operators are needed, but also psychologists are needed to provide accurate consultation and support to patients. In the process of IVF, patients may face various physical and psychological pressures. The team should be able to provide professional psychological support to help patients through the whole process of IVF.
Necessary inspection
Before IVF, patients need to carry out a series of examinations to assess their physical conditions and develop individualized treatment plans. These examinations mainly include endometrial thickness, ovarian function, male semen analysis, etc.
Endometrial thickness is an important indicator to evaluate whether the endometrium can accommodate embryo implantation. If necessary, hysteroscopy may be required to determine the condition of endometrium.
The examination of ovarian function includes B-ultrasound examination and blood examination to determine the ovulation function of the ovary and the number of follicles.
Male semen analysis is an important method to evaluate male fertility. The quality of sperm is evaluated by examining sperm density, vitality, morphology and other indicators of semen.
Surgical instruments
In IVF surgery, a series of surgical instruments need to be used, including incubator, test tube, microscope, syringe, etc.
Incubator is a device for cultivating fertilized eggs and embryos, which can provide a constant temperature and humidity environment to simulate the ecological conditions in the uterus.
Microscope is an important tool for fertilization and embryo observation. Through magnifying lens, doctors can clearly observe the structure of eggs and sperm, as well as the development of embryos.
Syringes and test tubes are used for fertilization, embryo transfer and other operations to ensure the accuracy and sterility of the operation.
Summary
A series of conditions and materials need to be prepared for IVF implantation, including the selection of formal hospitals, professional medical teams, necessary examinations and the use of appropriate surgical instruments. The success rate and safety of IVF can be improved only when the conditions and materials are fully prepared.
