Objective To analyze the positive effect of using operating room anesthesia recovery nursing on agitation during the general anesthesia recovery period in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Methods A total of 58 abdominal surgery patients admitted between January 2024 and January 2025 were randomly divided into a control group (conventional operating room nursing) and an observation group (additional operating room anesthesia awakening nursing), with 29 cases in each group, using the double color ball method. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results There was no statistically significant difference in blood gas function (arterial carbon dioxide pressure, oxygen pressure, oxygen saturation) between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the blood gas function indicators in the observation group were better than those in the control group, and the agitation score during the general anesthesia recovery period in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion In clinical practice, nursing interventions for abdominal surgery patients undergoing anesthesia recovery in the operating room can significantly optimize postoperative blood gas function, reduce the occurrence of agitation during the general anesthesia recovery period, and have practical value.
