Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome- an optimal solution for an unresolved enigma
نویسنده
چکیده
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). The syndrome almost always presents either after hCG administration in susceptible patients or during early pregnancy. Despite many years of clinical experience, there are no precise methods to completely prevent severe OHSS, except by withholding the ovulation-inducing trigger of hCG. Recently, COH which combining GnRH antagonist co-treatment and GnRH agonist trigger has become a common tool aiming to eliminate severe early OHSS. However, the observed decrease in implantation and pregnancy rates following this approach has encouraged different modifications of luteal support aiming to improve outcome. One of the suggest approach is the 1500 IU hCG luteal rescue, which appears to be a promising protocol, aiming to reduce (rather than eliminating) severe early OHSS, without compromising outcome. In the present paper we discuss the different suggested strategies and offer a strict triage, aimed at eliminating the occurrence of severe OHSS based on several clinical observations, including the role of GnRH-antagonist in COH protocols, the use of different luteal rescue protocols and the ability to transfer embryos in the blastocyst stage.

متن کاملI-31: Antihistamine & Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome
Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare iatrogenic complication of ovulation stimulation. The pathogenesis of OHSS is uncertain. The crucial event appears to be an increase in capillary permeability by vasoactive mediators such as cytokine and histamine. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of loratadine (antihistamine) in preventing ovarian hyperstimulation synd...

Objective In vitro maturation (IVM) is an artificial reproductive technology in which immature oocytes are harvested from the ovaries and subsequently matured in vitro. IVM does not require ovarian hyperstimulation and thus the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is avoided. In this multicenter prospective cohort study we assessed the live birth rate per initiated in vitro maturati...

Type 2 receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor are believed to be involved in the pathophysiology of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The objective of this study was to examine the preventive effects of cabergoline on OHSS and its complications. The study is a non randomized clinical trial conducted in 2006-2008 on 75 patients, which were at risk of OHSS and underwent assisted...
