Anaesthesia

Anaesthetic procedures

General anesthesia puts you into a sleep-like state; that is, it shuts down your consciousness and, above all, your sense of pain.

Most often, a sedative is injected into a vein (intravenous sedation). If the procedure takes longer, the sedative is administered repeatedly or additional gaseous sedative agents are administered in addition to oxygen. This can be done through a mask that covers the mouth and nose (mask) or over the larynx (laryngeal mask) (mask sedation).

During the anesthesia and afterwards, your blood pressure, pulse rate, heart rate, and oxygen supply are constantly monitored, so that any possible disorder can be detected and treated immediately.

It is quite normal to be tired and drowsy for a while after the anesthesia, and there is no cause for concern, even if this state should last for several hours (depending on the type of anesthesia). Each person reacts differently.

Procedure on the day of the operation

On the day of the operation, you should be in the clinic 30-60 minutes before the scheduled time of the operation. Please bring us the insurance chip card, the documents for the operation, and the consent form.

If you feel fear or intense excitement, ask us for a calming tablet with a sip of water.

After completing a few formalities, you will be taken to the preparation and recovery room, where you can change clothes. You can store your personal belongings there.

A plastic cannula is inserted into a vein on the back of the hand or at the elbow to allow medication and fluids to be administered. In the operating room, you will be seated in the operating chair and we will monitor your heart rate and breathing. A cuff on your upper arm automatically measures your blood pressure, a sensor on a finger monitors the circulation and oxygen supply in the blood, and to monitor heart activity, three ECG electrodes may be attached to your chest if necessary. During general anesthesia, your breathing and lung function are monitored after falling asleep via sensors on the ventilator.

After the procedure is completed, you can walk to your bed or your lying position yourself with our support. You will stay there for about an hour after the procedure.

Monitoring / VZO (intercourse to the optimum)

Depending on the couple's wishes, the present findings and other basic requirements (age, duration of the unmet desire for a child, etc.) may indicate that it is advisable to first monitor the course of the natural cycle through more intensive examinations (hormone levels; ultrasound). As a result, you can be informed about the optimal time for conception (the best time to achieve pregnancy).

Hormone treatment

If the hormone test performed at the beginning (if necessary after further evaluation) revealed a significant hormone disorder, this can be treated specifically. Of course, various hormone disorders can also occur simultaneously, so that several medications may occasionally have to be taken in parallel.

General anesthesia puts you into a sleep-like state; that is, it shuts down your consciousness and, above all, your sense of pain.

IUI

Insemination is one of the relatively simple procedures and is performed in cases of relatively mild male fertility problems or disorders in the cervical canal, e.g., disorders of mucus production or after a conectomy (incision of the external opening of the vagina). The treatment can be performed with or without hormone treatment depending on any pre-existing oocyte maturation disorder. The purpose of this treatment is to bring the prepared sperm in high concentration close to the egg cell in order to promote the occurrence of fertilization.

IVF

IVF (Reagent glass insemination) is typically used when the woman has bilateral fallopian tube blockage. But the man’s reduced sperm quality, the woman’s age, the couple’s distress, and the failure of other treatments can also lead to the decision to IVF seek this treatment.

ICSI

In cases of severely impaired sperm quality, or when only sperm can be obtained via testicular tissue sampling, an additional test is ICSI required.

Cryoconservation

Thus, if IVF or IVF + ICSI „excessive“ (partially fertilized) eggs have been frozen, they can be used in the so-called „cryocycle“.

ADI

If no sperm are present at all, the use of donor sperm can also be considered. Other reasons may also seem reasonable.

Blastocyst culture

In blastocyst culture, the embryos are further cultured until the 5th day.
