Measurement of Midazolam Levels in Follicular Fluid

May 2, 2021 updated by: Prof Dr. Human Fatemi, ART Fertility Clinics LLC

Measurement of Midazolam Levels in Follicular Fluid and Correlation of Midazolam Levels in Follicular Fluid and Oocyte Quality, Fertilization Rate, Embryo Development Pattern and Euploid Status

To determine the impact of Midazolam levels in follicular fluid on morpho-kinetics and morpho-genetics.

The reason to measure Midazolam levels in larger size follicles in this study is to maximize the chances to get a mature oocyte and therefore develop into a potential embryo to be analyzed.

Detailed Description

The correlation of Midazolam levels in follicular fluid and euploid status of the embryos is worth exploring as no data exists that suggests any influence on the quality of the embryos from using this substance for IVF since its earliest days. Measuring time lapsed from injection to first oocyte retrieval as well as time lapsed in between first and last oocyte retrieved will grand insight into the rise of levels of Midazolam inside the follicular fluid, correlated with the chromosomal status and the morphokinetic development of the euploid embryos.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control group using Propofol
Sedation will be established by administering 100mcs of Fentanyl, and 1-1.5mg/kg of body weight of Propofol.
Experimental: Study group Midazolam group
Sedation will be established by administering Midazolam 1mg, 100mcs of Fentanyl, and 0.5-1mg/kg of body weight of Propofol. Further boluses of Propofol will be given according to the need of the patient and time consumed for oocyte retrieval.
