Dealing with equipment failure during oocyte retrieval
Dealing with equipment failure during oocyte retrieval
This chapter includes clinical cases, background, evidence-based practical management options, preventive measures, key-point summaries of equipment failure during oocyte retrieval and answers to questions patients ask. It is important any equipment failure is clearly documented, reported on the institution's reporting system and reviewed for learning and actions to mitigate future risk. If the issues cannot be adequately resolved, no oocytes may be retrieved in the window of time available after ovulation trigger. In such cases, the patient will require a full explanation and discussion as per the duty of candor. The question about any equipment failure is not if but rather when it will happen. A good preventive strategy will reduce the chance of failure, allow its prompt recognition and have a plan B for what to do when it occurs.

Abstract
This chapter includes clinical cases, background, evidence-based practical management options, preventive measures, key-point summaries of equipment failure during oocyte retrieval and answers to questions patients ask. It is important any equipment failure is clearly documented, reported on the institution's reporting system and reviewed for learning and actions to mitigate future risk. If the issues cannot be adequately resolved, no oocytes may be retrieved in the window of time available after ovulation trigger. In such cases, the patient will require a full explanation and discussion as per the duty of candor. The question about any equipment failure is not if but rather when it will happen. A good preventive strategy will reduce the chance of failure, allow its prompt recognition and have a plan B for what to do when it occurs.
