Effect of Albumin and Furosemide Combination for Prevention of Severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in Hyper-Responders Undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Albumin and Furosemide Combination for Prevention of Severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in Hyper-Responders Undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to evaluate whether the combination of Albumin and Furosemide can reduce the risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) who are at high risk of developing this condition.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a potential complication of ovarian stimulation during assisted reproductive techniques, which can lead to symptoms such as abdominal swelling, fluid accumulation, and, in severe cases, hospitalization. Preventing this condition is important to improve patient safety and treatment outcomes.
In this randomized controlled study, eligible women undergoing ICSI were assigned to receive either the combination of albumin and furosemide or standard care. The study compared the occurrence and severity of OHSS between the two groups.
The results of this study may help identify an effective strategy to prevent OHSS and improve the safety of assisted reproductive treatments.
This is a randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) who are at high risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Participants were randomly allocated into study groups to receive either a combination protocol of albumin and furosemide or standard care.
The study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention in reducing the incidence and severity of OHSS. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a potentially serious complication of controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive techniques and may result in abdominal distension, fluid accumulation, and hospitalization in severe cases.
The Primary Outcome:
• Incidence of moderate and severe OHSS within 14 days post oocyte retrieval
The Secondary Outcomes:
Inclusion Criteria:
- The inclusion criteria were females aged ≤35 years old, previous history of severe OHSS, AMH> 3.4, antral follicles count ≥22, presence of >18 follicles with a diameter >11 mm at any day of the stimulation cycle, serum estradiol ≥3500 pg/ml at day of hCG trigger, and aspiration of >15 oocytes at day of oocyte pick up.
Exclusion Criteria:
