Study Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of thiamine therapy on oxygen consumption (VO2) in critically-ill patients. We will evaluate this by measuring VO2 before and after thiamine or placebo administration in patients admitted to the ICU and requiring mechanical ventilation. A secondary aim is to evaluate the effect of thiamine vs. placebo on the metabolic profile of the patients.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome will be the change in VO2 over the 6 hours after administration of the study medication, adjusted for baseline VO2.
