ABSTRACT

Thus, the method of anesthesia delivery varies among practices. There are few reports to define the current standard of care. In addition, there appears to be a lack of consensus among practitioners performing assisted reproduction procedures in regard to anesthetic medications employed. Pregnancy rates with in vitro fertilization improve as the number of high-quality embryos available for transfer increases. The technique used needs to focus on this goal. The various options will be explored as well as current information on some of the commonly used anesthetic agents.
