Vitamin C for all? | LitMetric

Vitamin C for all?

Curr Opin Crit Care

University Hospital Wuerzburg, Department of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care, Emergency, and Pain Medicine, Wuerzburg, Germany.

Published: August 2024

Purpose Of Review: Vitamin C can be a potential adjunctive treatment option for critically ill individuals due to its pleiotropic effects as electron donor in many enzymatic reactions throughout the body. Recently, several important randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating vitamin C in critically ill patients have been published.

Recent Findings: Two recent large RCTs administering high-dose vitamin C to patients with sepsis and COVID-19 showed signs of harm. Though performed at high standard, these trials had several limitations. Recent studies in cardiac surgery and burns showed decreased cardiac enzymes and improved clinical outcomes after cardiac surgery, and decreased fluid requirements, reduced wound healing time and in-hospital mortality after burns. Vitamin C may hold benefit in the management of other ischemia/reperfusion injury populations, including postcardiac arrest patients and after solid organ transplantation. Currently, covering basal vitamin C requirements during critical illness is recommended, though the exact dose remains to be determined.

Summary: Future work should address optimal vitamin C timing, since early versus late drug administration are likely distinct, and duration of therapy, where withdrawal-induced injury is possible. Additionally accurate assessment of body stores with determination of individual vitamin requirements is crucial to ascertain patient and subgroups most likely to benefit from vitamin C.
