What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how easy or difficult it is for critically ill children (4-17 years old) to have light therapy while in the pediatric ICU. Participants will have a light meter at their bedside to measure light levels. Each morning, a light box will be placed at their bedside. Children, family, and staff will be asked to completed feedback surveys regarding the light therapy. Study participation will continue for a maximum of 5 days.
