Data is presented as mean standard deviation and numbers (proportion). TEAS: transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation; MMSE: minimum mental state examination; PONV: postoperative nausea and vomiting. QoR-40: 40-item questionnaire. T0: before anesthesia; T5: at the end of surgery; T9: at the time out of PACU; T11: postoperative 24 hours; T12: postoperative 48 hours. vs. T9; vs. control group.
