Results The incidence of catheter related bladder irritation in grade 0, I, II, III during the recovery period of general anesthesia were 28, 14, 3, 0 cases in the experimental group and 7, 23, 12, 3 cases in the control group, there was significant difference between 2 groups (Z=1500, P<0.01). The incidence of restlessness in grade 0, I, II and III during the recovery period of general anesthesia were 27, 18, 0 and 0 cases, respectively in the experimental group and 7, 20, 9, and 9 cases in the control group, respectively.
