Study Notes

IVFE in Fertilization

IVFE (Intravenous Fat Emulsion) has been shown to increase the chances of fertilization and formation of high-quality embryos for transfer.
A comparative study in a large ART center found that IVFE improved fertilization rates and embryo quality in COH (Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation) programs, especially in women with poor folliculogenesis.
IVFE-fertilization measures allowed for more oocytes to be retrieved, with higher fertilization rates and a higher percentage of high-quality embryos.

Clinical Evidence

Multifaceted clinical evidence confirms the effectiveness of IVFE in all stages of fertilization.
The use of PUFAs (PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids) incorporated in the follicular fluid increases the chances of implementing the already obtained oocyte.
Large-scale studies have shown that IVFE increases the chances of fertilization and obtaining high-quality embryos, including in patients with ovarian stimulation failure and decreased ART function.

Clinical Trials and Studies

Numerous studies have investigated the use of ILE (Intravenous Lipid Emulsion) in various contexts, including deliberate self-poisoning, local anesthetic toxicity, and total parenteral nutrition.
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been published on the effectiveness of ILE in these contexts.

Meta-Analyses and Systematic Reviews

ILE has been supported as first-line treatment for drug toxicities due to highly lipophilic drugs.
Limitations of current data include variations in drug doses and differences from human pharmacokinetics.
Further research is needed to fully understand the benefits and limitations of ILE therapy.
