Anesthesia IVF | Drug: Midazolam |
A pilot study will be performed on patients undergoing oocyte retrieval (OPU) for the first time, and correlated to camel milk consumption versus never consumed camel milk, as well as age, BMI (body mass index), number of follicles at the time of OPU, number of previous OPUs in other clinics, previous vaginal delivery, past medical history positive for chemo therapy, alcohol consumption, use of prescribed or illicit drugs, or chronic pain medication.
The main objective is to analyse if the consumption of camel milk, the frequency, or lack thereof correlates with the amount of the sedative drug Midazolam needed to achieve an acceptable level of sedation in order to estimate the dosage needed in both patient groups more adequately, reducing either discomfort felt at a too low an initial dosage, as well as avoiding a deeper level of sedation than needed with subsequent prolonged stay in recovery and unpleasant feelings of dizziness and drowsiness, potentially requiring antagonizing Midazolam by the use of Flumazenil, and reducing overall costs and length of stay in recovery and bed occupancy and enhancing patient experience and satisfaction.
Would this study enable the Investigators to determine further effect of camel milk on other drugs used for various other purposes, and lead to a change in dose regimen?
