Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which factors contribute to prolonged stay of children in the PACU.

Detailed Description

Studying the factors associated with prolonged stay of children in the PACU is of great significance to the medical team, as it can improve the quality and speed of anesthesia recovery, not only in line with the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery, but also through intervention and optimization of specific factors to improve the efficiency of children's postoperative discharge from the PACU, reduce the incidence of complications, lower medical costs, and increase patient and family satisfaction.
