Prevention and management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

چکیده
The Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) represents one of the biggest nightmares of all physicians involved in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Every year, several hundreds of women are hospitalized and to date several deaths have been reported. The pivotal event in the development of OHSS is the disruption of capillary integrity that results in leakage of intravascular fluid and proteins into third space. On the molecular level, human chorionic godadotropin (HCG) either exogenous or endogenous, functions as the triggering point for the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that is the main mediator to increase permeability on the vascular bed. Spontaneous OHSS has also been reported, either due to inappropriate activation of a mutant FSH receptor or due to very high levels of HCG during pregnancy. The available evidence on the several preventive and therapeutic approaches with special attention to level 1 evidence when available is also presented. OHSS is a self-resolving condition and the main role of the physician is to correct and maintain the intravascular volume, to support renal function and respiration and prevent thrombotic events. An algorithm on the management of OHSS on an outpatient basis and in the hospital is based on the previous mentioned principles.

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a rare complication of super ovulation and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although our understanding of its pathophysiology is incomplete, induction of development of multiple follicles, perturbation of the renin angiotensin system and exposure to luteinizing hormone (LH) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are essential contributing factors to its d...
متن کاملCabergoline versus Coasting in the Prevention of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome and Assisted Reproductive Technologies Outcome in High Risk Patients
Background Coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) reduction. However, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. Recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective D2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular ...

The Effectiveness of Cabergoline for the Prevention of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
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...
