Early administration of Vitamin C in patients with sepsis or septic shock in emergency departments: A multicenter, double blinded, randomized controlled trial: The C-EASIE trial protocol.

<h4>Background</h4>Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by a deregulated body's response to infection causing injury to its own tissues and organs. Sepsis is the primary cause of death from infection. If not recognized and treated timely, it can evolve wi...

Sepsis is the primary cause of death from infection. If not recognized and treated timely, it can evolve within minutes/hours to septic shock.

In total 300 patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups in a 1:1 allocation ratio. The intervention group will receive 1.5 g Vitamin C 4 times a day during 4 days, started within 6 hours after admission. The primary outcome is the average post-baseline patient SOFA score.<h4>Conclusion</h4>This trial will determine whether the early administration of Vitamin C in patients with sepsis or septic shock can lead to a more rapid solution of shock and less deterioration from sepsis to septic shock, hereby reducing morbidity and mortality as well as the length of hospital stay in this patient population.<h4>Trial registration</h4>The C-EASIE trial has been registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov website on 10 February 2021 with registration number NCT04747795.<h4>Trial sponsor</h4>UZ Leuven (sponsor's reference S63213).Stefanie VanderveldenLina WautersJan BreulsSteffen FieuwsPhilippe VanhoveIves HubloueMagali BartiauxJacques CreteurFrançois StifkensKoen MonsieursDidier DesruellesPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 11, p e0259699 (2021)
