warm saline distension media in office hysteroscopy
assesment of pain immediately at the end of the procedure and 15 minutes after it
d. The degree of pain that the patient feels in the procedure will be estimated by using visual analoge scale (VAS) (figure 1) at 2 times: At the end of the procedure and at 15 minutes after the examination. The patient makes a mark on the VAS line to indicate the intensity of her pain. The distance from the zero point to the marked point is measured using a graduated ruler. Each pain assessment is made on a separate line.
Time frame: immediately after the procedure and 15 minutes after the end of it
patient satisfaction
Patients' satisfaction will be evaluated as the percentage of patients who would undergo the examination again using the same method
Time frame: during procedure
time taken to complete the procedure
The time taken to perform the examination is measured in minutes, from introduction from the cervix.of the hysteroscope into the vagina until removing it
Time frame: during procedure
