Study summary

In this study, we aimed to examine the association between personality traits and amount of anesthetic drug consumption,of the patients who will receive sedoanalgesia for the oocyte retrieval procedure. As well as determining the anxiety scores in the preoperative period, the time to reach the desired sedation level, hemodynamic parameters in the perioperative period, peripheral oxygen saturation, EtCO2 value, postoperative pain, postanesthetic recovery, analgesic drug need, unconscious movement, and patient satisfaction.

Read the detailed description

Different personality traits, anxiety disorders, depression, and somatoform disorders are frequently encountered in women with infertility problems. Although there are many studies evaluating the relationship of anxiety with variables such as hemodynamic parameters, need for anesthetic medication, recovery times, postoperative pain and analgesic requirements, the relationship between personality traits and these variables has not been investigated.

In our study, considering that the anesthesia needs of these patients with a stressful negative factor such as infertility may be at different levels, preoperative evaluation of the patients with a personality questionnaire will provide better perioperative management, a better quality recovery and possibly a higher quality oocyte aspiration. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the amount of anesthetic agent consumption, recovery times, postoperative pain scores, analgesic requirements, involuntary movement, time to reach sufficient sedation depth, and patient satisfaction of patients thought to have sedation.

All patients will fill out Personality Belief Scale-Short Form (PBQ-S1) and Beck Anxiety Scale one day before the procedure and they will be registered.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Propofol consumption

    mg, from the beginning to the end of the transvaginal oocyte retrieval procedure

    Time frame: from the beginning to the end of the transvaginal oocyte retrieval procedure)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time until the Ramsey Sedation Score of 4 is reached

    The period elapsed after the patient is transported to the operating table and the sedation protocol begins.

    Time frame: -The period of time starting with the propofol injection until the Ramsey Sedation Score of 4

  2. Amount of propofol (mg) used until the required sedation depth is reached

    The amount of iv propofol administered until the Ramsey Sedation Score of 4 is obtained

    Time frame: The period of time starting with the propofol injection until the Ramsey Sedation Score of 4

  3. Systolic, diastolic and, mean Blood pressure (mm/Hg)

    It will be monitored and documented every 5 minutes during the procedure.

    Time frame: every 5 minutes during the procedure

  4. Heart rate (beats/min)

    It will be monitored and documented every 5 minutes during the procedure.

    Time frame: every 5 minutes during the procedure.

  5. Peripheral oxygen saturation (%)

    (%): It will be monitored and documented every 5 minutes during the procedure.

    Time frame: every 5 minutes during the procedure

  6. Number of Involuntary movement during the procedure

    The presence of involuntary movement will be documented during the procedure.

    Time frame: during the procedure.

  7. Postoperative pain (visual analog scale)

    Pain status will be evaluated based on visual analog scale (VAS) at rest and after movement.every 30-minute intervals for one hour in the recovery room. Each VAS is scores 0-10 (0=no pain, 10=unbearable pain)

    Time frame: After the procedure,every 30 minutes up to 1 hour

  8. Analgesic consumption

    The analgesic agents administered to the patients throughout the postoperative period will be documented.

    Time frame: postoperatively up to 2 hours

  9. Postoperative recovery time

    The time until the Modified Aldrete Score reaches 9 points will be determined.

    Time frame: postoperatively up to 2 hours

  10. The incidences of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

    the presence of nausea and vomiting will be recorded for 24 hours after procedure

    Time frame: the time from the end of the procedure until discharge

  11. Undesirable events and interventions

    Bradycardia, hypotension, airway obstruction, hypoxia will be documented throughout the perioperative phase with the intervention.

    Time frame: time between start of procedure and discharge
