Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Corticosteroids
The combination of vitamin C, vitamin B1, hydrocortisone :
* Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 1.5g every 6 hours x 4-days
* Vitamin B1 (thiamine) 100mg every 6 hours x 4-days
* Hydrocortisone 50mg every 6 hours x 4-days
vitamin C, vitamin B1, hydrocortisone: Vitamin C (1.5g) plus vitamin B1 (100mg) will be diluted in 100ml 0.9%NACL and administered IV every 6 hours for 4 days or until participant is discharged from the ICU. Hydrocortisone 50mg/ml will be administered via IV push over 1-2 minutes every 6hours for 4 days or until the patient is discharged from the ICU.

Describes if patient has delirium as defined by the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM)-ICU. The CAM-ICU method requires that the patient have 3 features to qualify for delirium: 1. Acute Onset of Changes or Fluctuations in the Course of Mental Status (AND ) 2. Inattention (AND) 3. Disorganized thinking (OR) Altered Level of Consciousness
