Egg retrieval process of test tube baby
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams by taking eggs, fertilizing and cultivating embryos. Egg retrieval is one of the key steps in the process of IVF. In the process of egg retrieval, there are some precautions that need to be observed by patients and doctors to ensure the smooth process of egg retrieval. This article will elaborate from four aspects: environmental preparation, preoperative taboos, surgical preparation and postoperative nursing.
Environmental preparation
Before the egg retrieval process, the hospital will thoroughly clean and disinfect the operating room for egg retrieval to reduce the risk of infection for patients. At the same time, anesthesia is required for egg retrieval, so the operating room should ensure that there are sufficient oxygen supply equipment and anesthesia equipment to deal with emergencies. Before entering the operating room, the patient should complete necessary preparations, such as shaving the abdomen hair, emptying the bladder, etc.
When the patient is waiting outside the operating room, he/she should keep happy and relax. Family members can accompany the patient during the operation to give psychological support to the patient, but they need to comply with the relevant hospital regulations, such as wearing masks. This will help reduce the patient's tension and facilitate the operation.
Preoperative contraindication
Before egg retrieval, patients need to provide doctors with detailed medical history and medication so that doctors can make correct decisions. In particular, patients with the following conditions may be prohibited from carrying out egg retrieval surgery:
1. Sexually transmitted diseases: such as syphilis, AIDS, etc. These infectious diseases may bring risks to the operating room environment and medical staff.
2. Serious heart and lung diseases: such as cardiac insufficiency, severe asthma, etc. These diseases may cause serious complications during the operation.
3. Abnormal blood coagulation function: such as thrombocytopenia, coagulation factor deficiency, etc. Risk of bleeding during surgery.
Surgical preparation
Egg retrieval is usually performed jointly by gynecologists and assisted reproduction experts. Before the operation, the doctor will explain the operation process to the patient in detail and obtain their consent. The ovum retrieval operation generally adopts the ovum retrieval technology guided by transvaginal ultrasound, and the doctor will prepare necessary instruments and drugs before the operation.
The patient needs to coordinate with the doctor's guidance to complete the posture adjustment of the egg retrieval operation. During the operation, the patient will receive local anesthesia or general anesthesia. These anesthesia measures need to be evaluated before the operation and follow the corresponding anesthesia operation specifications.
After the operation, the doctor will check the patient's body to determine whether the operation is successfully completed. Patients also need to choose whether to stay in hospital for observation according to their personal conditions with the advice of doctors.
Postoperative care
After the egg retrieval operation, the patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions and carry out corresponding postoperative care:
1. Rest: Take a proper rest after the operation, and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor to avoid wound infection and bleeding.
2. Diet: Pay attention to light diet, avoid greasy and irritating food, and help heal wounds.
3. Drug use: use drugs according to the doctor's instructions, such as antibiotics to prevent infection, painkillers to relieve postoperative pain, etc.
To sum up, IVF egg retrieval requires patients and doctors to observe a series of precautions, including environmental preparation, preoperative taboos, surgical preparation and postoperative care. Compliance with these precautions can ensure the safety and effectiveness of the egg retrieval process, improve the success rate of IVF, and realize couples' reproductive dreams.
