Admixture of propofol and alfentanil. Use for intravenous sedation and analgesia during transvaginal oocyte retrieval

Abstract

An admixture of propofol and alfentanil provides adequate sedation and analgesia during transvaginal oocyte retrieval in the absence of a paracervical block. In 100 patients the technique provided haemodynamic stability, sedation which was easily controlled, rapid recovery and universal patient acceptance.
