Conditions

hypoxaemia during anesthesia recovery

Interventions

Semirecumbent positioning group:After extubation in the post-anesthesia care unit, patients were randomly assigned to the semirecumbent positioning group, with the head of the bed raised by 30 degrees
Lateral positioning group:After extubation in the post-anesthesia care unit, patients were randomly assigned to the lateral positioning group, lying on the side at a 90 ° angle between the body and th
