Vitamins C and E
Vitamin C (1,000 mg i.v.) and Vitamin E (1,000 IU p.o. via the naso-gastric tube) administered every 8 hours starting within one hour after admission to the Emergency department for up to 5 days or until discharge from the ICU, whichever comes first.
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
0.9% saline and sugar pill
100 ml of 0.9% saline (for i.v. Vitamin C) and a p.o. placebo (sugar pill for the p.o. Vitamin E) administered every 8 hours starting within one hour after admission to the Emergency department for up to 5 days or until discharge from the ICU, whichever comes first.
Saline (for Vitamin C)
0.9% saline administered to mimic Vitamin C
Placebo (for Vitamin E)
