Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of high doses of Vitamin C in critically ill patients.

Primary Outcome

Given the grim prognosis of septic and hypovolemic shock, we aim to study the efficacy on an alternative treatment modality by implementing high dose vitamin C therapy in our patient population. Through previous investigations, especially research in the burn patient population, we expect that high dose vitamin C therapy will be beneficial to patients with hypovolemic or septic shock.

Interventions

  • DRUG Ascorbic Acid
  • OTHER Ringers Lactate or Normal Saline
