Double-Blind, Randomized Study of High Dose Vitamin C On Outcome in Cardiac Surgery Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Ascorbic Acid and 5 % Dextrose Water or Normal Saline for Reperfusion Injury. Completed, enrolled 57 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It has been shown that the stress that occurs during cardiac surgery leads to early decrease of many of the body's resources such as Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which may contribute to complications after surgery. This study will investigate the effects of high doses of intravenous (IV) Vitamin C on the outcome and complications after cardiac surgery.
