Pain management -- Protocol Oocyte -- Retrieval Assisted reproductive technology UCTD Thesis (MMed)--Stellenbosch University, 2021. Introduction: Assisted reproductive technology (ART) involves a series of procedures, the cost of which may prevent many from achieving reproduction desire s. To cut on the cost , oocyte retrieval has evolved into an affordable day procedure that still requires analgesia. The goal of this study is to evaluate the level of acceptance and tolerance of the Tygerberg Fertility pain management protocol (a combination of intramuscular pe thidine and paracervical block) during oocyte retrieval. Method: This was a cross-sectional study/patient survey. A questionnaire was compiled in an attempt to evaluate participants’ perspectives regarding the pain management us ing a Likert scale. Participants completed the questionnaire after the procedure. Participants who did not return the questionnaire were excluded. Study setting: Tygerberg Reproductive Medicine Unit Results: The study recruited 100 women and 80 completed and returned the questionnaires. A total of 73.8% participants tolerated the pain with th e current pain management method. Only 6.3% could not tolerate the pain. The majority ofparticipants (71.3%) found the protocol acceptable and over 90% of the participants would recommend the method to others as well as accept it in future. Conclusions: The study showed that a combinat ion of intramuscular pethidine and paracervical block is an acceptable and tolerable method of pain management during ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval in a low-resource setting environment.
