Materials for IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, and a series of materials need to be prepared to ensure its success. The materials required for IVF will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Equipment for operation
In vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo transfer and other operations are required for IVF, so the instruments and equipment required for the operation need to be prepared first. These instruments include microscope, centrifuge, incubator, test tube, etc. Microscope is an important equipment for observing and operating eggs and sperm, centrifuge is used for centrifuging sperm and eggs, and incubator is used to maintain the temperature and humidity of embryos. In addition, various disinfection equipment and operating tools are needed to ensure the safety and hygiene of the operation.
The Reproductive Medicine Center affiliated to Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a hospital with advanced equipment that provides IVF technology.
2. Drugs and reagents
IVF needs a series of drugs and reagents to promote ovarian development and fertilization. These drugs include ovulation promoters, ovulation triggers and progesterone, which are used to control the ovarian cycle, promote follicular development and maintain luteal function. In addition, cell culture medium, culture medium and cryopreservation reagent are also needed for in vitro fertilization, embryo culture, embryo freezing and other processes.
The selection and use of drugs need to be carried out under the guidance of doctors, because different situations and physical conditions may require different drug programs. In China, some professional reproductive hospitals such as Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine also provide IVF related drugs and reagents.
3. Medical staff and professional team
IVF needs to be operated and managed by experienced doctors and professional teams. Doctors need to have professional knowledge and skills in reproductive medicine and assisted reproductive technology, and be able to develop personalized programs according to the needs of patients. The professional team, including nurses, laboratory technicians and psychological consultants, cooperates to ensure the smooth progress of each link.
Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is a hospital with a professional team, which is committed to providing personalized IVF services for patients.
4. The patient's own preparation
In addition to the preparation of medical institutions and professional teams, patients themselves also need to do some preparations. First, patients need to have a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that their health is suitable for IVF. Secondly, patients need to follow the doctor's guidance, take medicine on time and visit again regularly. In addition, patients also need to maintain a good attitude and an active lifestyle, reduce stress and eliminate bad habits, which also has an important impact on the success rate of IVF.
In conclusion, the materials that IVF needs to prepare include surgical equipment, drugs and reagents, medical staff and professional teams, as well as the preparation of patients themselves. Only with the full preparation and cooperation of all preparations can IVF be successfully carried out.
