Objective:To systematically evaluate the incidence and influencing factors of emergence agitation (EA) after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:Literature on EA after general anesthesia in adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was electronically retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from the establishment of the database to June 1, 2024. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, conducted quality assessments, and used RevMan 5.3 to perform the Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 22 studies were included, involving 16 853 patients. Meta-analysis indicated that the incidence of EA after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was 18.00%. Advanced age, male, high anesthesia grade, obesity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, preoperative anxiety, preoperative benzodiazepine use, high preoperative leukocyte, low preoperative serum albumin, prolonged operative time, intraoperative hypothermia, type of surgery, inhalation anesthesia, hypoxemia during emergence, pain during emergence, indwelling urinary catheter, and indwelling drainage tube were risk factors for EA ( P<0.05). The use of dexmedetomidine during surgery and analgesic pump after surgery were protective factors for EA ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The EA in patients undergoing general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery is the result of multiple factors acting together. Clinical healthcare providers should enhance their ability to identify risk factors for EA and implement targeted interventions at an early stage to improve the quality of patient awakening and clinical outcomes.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) combined with rehabilitation training in recovery of upper limb function in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) through Meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials on upper limb motor dysfunction in IS patients accepted VNS published in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were retrieved. The retrieval period was from establishment of the databases to April 2025. Quality of the trials was assessed according to Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews of interventions (version 5.1). Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the risk of bias of the included articles; and then, Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:Eleven articles of randomized controlled trails were chosen, including 495 patients. Three articles were rated as A-level in terms of quality, and 8 were rated as B-level. Overall bias risk of the included studies was low. Results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group (rehabilitation training alone), the intervention group (VNS combined with rehabilitation training) had significantly improved upper limb motor function (Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper limb motor function: standardized mean difference [ SMD]=0.77, 95% CI: 0.24-1.30, P<0.001) and activities of daily living (modified Barthel index: SMD=0.86, 95% CI: 0.56-1.16, P<0.001). Meanwhile, compared with those in the control group, incidence of adverse events ( RR=1.12, 95% CI: 0.95-1.33, P=0.170) and incidence of severe adverse events ( RR=1.67, 95% CI: 0.51-5.50, P=0.400) in the intervention group did not significantly increase. Results of subgroup analysis showed that compared with that in the control group, more significantly improved upper limb motor function was noted in patients from the non-invasive VNS intervention sub-group ( SMD=1.09, 95% CI: 0.46-1.72, P<0.001), intervention sub-group with a frequency of 5 times per week ( SMD=1.73, 95% CI: 0.58-2.87, P<0.001), and intervention sub-group with a duration of 4 weeks ( SMD=1.09, 95%CI: 0.72-1.47, P<0.001). Conclusion:VNS combined with rehabilitation training has good safety and efficacy in upper limb motor dysfunction after IS.
