Effect of Optimizing the Induction Regimen in Preventing Cough Reactions in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study.

Purpose: During the induction of general anesthesia, opioids and endotracheal intubation may cause coughing. This study aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of an optimized drug induction scheme for general anesthesia to prevent coughing in patients.

Methods: A total of 220 patients aged 18 to 65 years who underwent surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation were randomly assigned to two groups, each with 110 patients.
