High-dose intravenous versus low-dose oral vitamin C in burn care: potential protective effects in the severely burned: a retrospective cohort study.

Unlabelled: Antioxidant therapies, such as ascorbic acid may have an important role during the acute phase of burn management. However, there are mixed results on the most effective dose and method of administration of ascorbic acid in burn patients. In this study, we compared the efficacy of intravenously and orally administered ascorbic acid in second-degree burns greater than 20% total-body-surface-area.
