Core Tip

Core Tip: This study explored the relationship between anxiety and awakening agitation at four time points (patients’ preoperative visit, waiting period in the surgical waiting room, after entering the operating room, and before anesthesia induction), and clarified that emergence agitation in patients undergoing radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer was related to anxiety at the time of entering the operating room and before anesthesia induction. This finding provides new insights into the management of preoperative anxiety and prevention of postoperative agitation, which can help improve postoperative recovery.
