Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The level of airway irritation, including changes in respiratory rate, heart rate, cough and blood pressure fluctuations, with an increase above 140/90 or a decrease below 90/60. Timepoint: Vital signs assessment at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and at 1, 2, and 6 hours after anesthesia induction. Method of measurement: Airway Irritation is assessed by observing and recording coughing, dyspnea, and oxygen desaturation at 1, 2, and 6 hours post-anesthesia through clinical observations, pulse oximetry (Pulse Oximeter), and vital signs monitoring.Respiratory Rate is measured by counting the number of breaths per minute using a vital signs monitor.Heart Rate is recorded as the number of beats per minute using electrocardiography (ECG) and a cardiac monitor.Blood Pressure is measured by assessing systolic and diastolic blood pressure at predefined time points using an automatic sphygmomanometer.
