Interventions

Control group:Children who receive conventional preoperative fasting management
intervention group:Implement a multi-component "6-4-2" preoperative fasting management protocol in the target ward. The proposed tailored multi-component implementation strategies include: 1. Standard
2. Providing parents with illustrated fasting instruction sheets
3. Embedding fasting time reminders in the bedside call system
