Study Arms (1)

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, ERAS

During the study period, all enrolled patients will be managed according to our institution's consensus ERAS checklist for pediatric lung surgery.

Other: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, ERAS

Interventions

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, ERAS OTHER

During the study period, all enrolled patients will be managed according to our institution's consensus checklist for pediatric lung surgery ERAS care. This includes ERAS education, preoperative assessment, fasting guidance, prophylaxis for nausea and vomiting, standardized anesthesia and surgical protocols, preference for minimally invasive surgery, multimodal postoperative analgesia, and encouragement of early oral intake and mobilization.
