This study evaluates the effect of the addition of ketamine to a conscious sedation protocol including remifentanil during oocyte retrieval. The investigators will have 2 groups with different target effect site concentrations, namely 150 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml.
The actual protocol for conscious sedation during oocyte retrieval in at the Erasmus hospital (Brussels) consists of Remifentanil in TCI-mode, with premedication by Midazolam. However, episodes of bradypnaea with or without desaturation are still common.
The primary objective is to observe if with the addition of ketamine, it is possible to significantly reduce the dose of Remifentanil, in order to avoid episodes of respiratory depression caused by the opioid.
The secondary outcomes measured, will be the pain levels experienced by the patient, the sedation level, and the satisfaction of the patients after the procedure.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| ketamine 150 ng/ml | The first group will receive the classical premedication with 2 mg of Midazolam. A bolus dose of Ketamine will be given, then to be titrated in TCI mode with a target concentration of 150 ng/ml. Right after, the Remifentanil TCI will be started at a concentration of 1 ng/ml and the procedure can begin. |
| |
| ketamine 200 ng/ml | The second group will be treated in the exact way as the first, with the exception that the target effect site concentration is aimed at 200 ng/ml. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| respiratory depression | respiratory rate (number of inspiration per minute) | through study completion, an average of 2 months |
| Respiratory depression | SpO2 (%) | through study completion, an average of 2 months |

| pain | EVA | through study completion, an average of 2 months |
| patient satisfaction | satisfaction scale: 1=unsatisfied. 2=average satisfaction 3=Satisfied 4=very satisfied. The higher the value, the better. Additionally, we ask the patients if they would choose the same anesthetic method, should it be necessary to repeat the procedure. If yes, it is considered a better outcome. |
