  • Title: Vitamin C in Burn Resuscitation.
    Author: Rizzo JA, Rowan MP, Driscoll IR, Chung KK, Friedman BC.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 2016 Oct; 32(4):539-46. PubMed ID: 27600125.
    Abstract:
    The inflammatory state after burn injury is characterized by an increase in capillary permeability that results in protein and fluid leakage into the interstitial space, increasing resuscitative requirements. Although the mechanisms underlying increased capillary permeability are complex, damage from reactive oxygen species plays a major role and has been successfully attenuated with antioxidant therapy in several disease processes. However, the utility of antioxidants in burn treatment remains unclear. Vitamin C is a promising antioxidant candidate that has been examined in burn resuscitation studies and shows efficacy in reducing the fluid requirements in the acute phase after burn injury.
