ICU Intense Light for Critical Illness
Study Summary
This trial will elucidate the influence of intense light therapy pretreatment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Hypotheses are that intense light exposure is associated with the peripheral stabilization of Per2 in human buccal swabs and plasma samples before surgery and with a decrease of Troponin I levels after surgery. Additionally, light therapy may lead to Per2 dependent metabolic optimization in the human cardiac tissue.
