Objective To analyze the occurrence of arrhythmia in patients during the recovery period of anesthesia, in order to take appropriate measures in nursing care to ensure the safety of patients. Method We carried out a retrospective analysis of 18 931 general anesthesia post-operative patients (aged 16-84 years old) transferred to anesthesia recovery from September 2012 to July 2013, and we observed the incidence rate of arrhythmia, and documented the clinical manifestations of the patients. Results During the anesthesia recovery, out of 18 931 general anesthesia postoperative patients, 269 cases of arrhythmia occurred, and the incidence rate was 1.42%. Twenty minutes after nursing intervention and use of medication, the difference of systolic blood pressure, bradycardic heart rate, and tachycardic heart rate of the patients were statistically better than those beofre the treatment (P＜ 0.05) . Conclusion Early discovery and analysis of arrhythmia in patients during anesthesia recovery, along with timely provision of analgesic and antiarrhythmic treatment can effectively improve the circulation status of the patients, thus ensure the safety of the patients during anesthesia recovery.
