A Rationale to use IV Vitamin C followed by a Reality Check: The ACTS Trial (Journal Club-ish)
from Saving Lives Podcast: Critical Care w/eddyjoemd · host Eddy Joe Gutierrez, MD
Another day, another IV vitamin C trial. It appears as if the dust is settling a bit on all this. This paper will be known as the ACTS trial for Ascorbic acid, Corticosteroids and Thiamine in Septic shock. Before digging into the paper, though, I provide a bit of a biologic rationale as why these trials should improve outcomes.
