Gamified Breathing Exercises
The intervention involves providing preoperative training to children and their parents on gamified breathing exercises starting 48-72 hours before surgery. Children choose from various interactive breathing games, including: Ball Blowing: Blowing cotton or ping-pong balls across a surface using a straw. Bubble Blowing: Blowing soap bubbles to promote slow, deep exhalation. Candle Blowing: Practicing controlled breathing by blowing out candles. Tissue/Paper Blowing: Using breath to lift tissues or move paper windmills. Participants are instructed to practice these games for 10 minutes every hour, approximately 10-15 times per day, until the day of surgery. All necessary equipment (straws, bubbles, toys) is provided by the researchers.
