This study was performed to compare the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology in women regarding recovery time, patient satisfaction and postoperative side effects using remifentanil-propofol and alfentanil-propofol. Materials and methods: We studied 102 women who were scheduled for oocyte retrieval. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups. General anesthesia was performed with remifentanil-propofol (group I) or alfentanil-propofol (group II). The numbers of oocytes collated, fertilized, transferal and pregnancy rate were recorded. Hemodynamic variables, patient satisfaction, recovery time and side effects were also recorded. Results: There were no significant differences in oocytes collected and pregnancy rates between the two groups. But fertilization was significantly higher in remifentanil-propofol group (P= 0.01). The recovery of patients in remifentanil-propofol was significantly rapid (P= 0.01). Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, postoperative satisfaction and side effects were found to be similar in both groups. Conclusion: Remifentanil-propofol is of great benefit in providing an earlier recovery, however, both remifentanil-propofol and alfentanil-propofol regimens are suitable for oocyte retrieval.
