Interest of Audiovisual Distraction in the Management of Anxiety and Pain During Oocyte Retrieval
Sponsor: CMC Ambroise Paré
Summary
Oocyte retrieval procedure for in vitro fertilization is a source of anxiety for patients. Local anaesthesia or sedation are commonly used to manage many situations of anxiety, including the oocyte retrieval. However, this sedation should be as mild as possible in order to preserve oocytes. HappyMed Video Glasses are a recent medical device that allows the immersion of patients in films, cartoons or concerts. By distracting patients, this technology can reduce anxiety, discomfort and ultimately pain associated with care. This randomized monocentric trial compares audiovisual distraction versus usual care for the management of anxiety and pain related to oocyte retrieval. Hypothesis of this study is that the audiovisual distraction carried out with the HappyMed Video Glasses reduces the use of sedative drugs during oocyte retrieval while ensuring a better comfort and a faster walking ability.

HappyMed Video Glasses
HappyMed allows the immersion of patients in films, cartoons or concerts.
Propofol
The dosage is modified according to the Dixon's up-and-down method (using 0.5 µg/ml as a step size). The first patient in each group will start at a dose 3 µg/ml propofol. If patient manifests discomfort then the next patient will receive an increment of 0.5 µg/ml propofol, if patient is comfortable, then the next patient received a decrement of 0.5 µg/ml propofol.
Sufentanil
0.1 µg/kg
