Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methodology:
All patients will be subjected to:
1. Complete history taking.
2. Full clinical examination
3. Evaluation and monitoring of(pulse oximetry , ECG, NIBP, temperature)
4. CBC , Blood gas (for determination of (PaO2/FiO2), Blood cultures,serum Creatinine and total bilirubin were recorded daily for the first 7 days.
5. Severity scores by calculating Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II)score

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study Group ( High dose vitamin C group )
They will receive 1.5 gm intravenous (IV) Vitamin C in 100 ml dextrose 5% (D5W) administered as an infusion over 30 to 60 minutes every 6 hours daily for 4 days or until ICU discharge.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C also play an important role in immune function
Control Group (Daily requirements vitamin C Group )
They will receive standard daily requirements of Vitamin C intravenously which is 75-90 mg in 100 ml dextrose 5% (D5W) administered as an infusion over 30 to 60 minutes daily for 4 days or until ICU discharge
