Operating Procedure:
Aspiration curette is an outpatient procedure that generally involves a clinic visit of several hours. The procedure itself typically takes less than 15 minutes. Suction is created with either an electric pump (electric vacuum aspiration or EVA) or a manual pump (manual vacuum aspiration or MVA). A hand- held 25cc or 50cc syringe can function as a manual pump. Both methods use the same level of suction and so can be considered equivalent in terms of effectiveness and safety.
The clinician may first use a local anaesthetic to numb the cervix. Then, the clinician may use instruments called “dilators” to open the cervix, or sometimes medically induce dilation with drugs. Finally, a sterile cannula is inserted into the uterus and attached via tubing to the pump. The pump creates a vacuum which empties uterine contents.
After a procedure for abortion or miscarriage treatment, the tissue removed from the uterus is examined for completeness. Expected contents include the embryo or foetus, as well as the decidua, chorionic villi, amniotic fluid, amniotic membrane and other tissue. Post-treatment care includes brief observation in a recovery area and a follow-up appointment approximately two weeks later. These would tend to include tests for infection in case any biological material was not properly removed. Additional medications used in vacuum aspiration include NSAID analgesics that may be administered already the day before the procedure, as well as misoprostol on the preceding day for cervical ripening.
