Interventions

This study is a two-group parallel randomized trial. All the patients were divided into two groups (1:1): the acupressure group (group A) and the control group (group C) using the random number table

Mean cough during the recovery period from anesthesia (times/min)

Mean pulse during anesthesia recovery (times/min)

Mild Cough

Severe cough

HR (>100 times/min)

BP (>140mmHg)

Stress Urinary Incontinence (Female) After 6 hours: Cough with bloody sputum

the throat is swollen and sore

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Cough Grading: The intensity and duration of coughing were recorded. According to the outbreak phase of the cough, a series of coughs in each time course is recorded as 1 cough, and the intensity of the cough is divided into three levels: mild (1~2 times/min), moderate (3~4 times/min), and severe (>5 times/min). The evaluation was done immediately after extubation, 30 minutes after removal of the laryngeal mask, and on the transfer out of the PACU.	—
