Abstract
Infertility is a common aspect globally affecting couples to 15%, and it is
frequently increasing the need for anesthesiologists’ participation in assisted
reproductive techniques.
Currently, the procedures used to assist reproduction are unable to fully cover the
detrimental effects of age. During anesthesia-analgesia in oocyte retrieval, the role of
the anesthesiologist is to provide the patient with adequate anxiolysis, analgesia, and
sedation as the key to success in the procedure. An adequate pre-anesthetic assessment
is required to identify derivative diseases and take the appropriate care of each patient.
Modern anesthetic techniques for oocyte retrieval include conscious sedation, general
anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and other alternative techniques, such as
electroacupuncture, or even a combination of these.
In this chapter, the main characteristics of these techniques will be exposed, as well as
their complications and the recommendations so that anesthetic procedures are safe not
only for the patient, but also for the whole process’ success.
