Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial aimed to determine whether preoperative sleep interventions could reduce the incidence of adverse outcomes, such as postoperative delirium, in sleep-disordered school-aged children undergoing congenital heart surgery. The study will include infants and toddlers undergoing elective cardiac surgery with sleep disorders, assessed by the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). All participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group and Controll group in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group received a short intensive cognitive-behavioral intervention 7-14 days before surgery, and no intervention was imposed on the control group. The results of this study will provide suggestions for the prevention of delirium after cardiac surgery.
