Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
A prospective randomized trial comparing patient-controlled sedation using propofol and alfentanil and physician-administered sedation using diazepam and pethidine during transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval.
This open label study compared the effectiveness of patient-controlled sedation (PCS), with physician-administered sedation (PAS) during transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval (TUGOR). ⋯ Although PCS provides less analgesia then PAS during TUGOR, it is safe, satisfactory and accepted by patients.
