Vitamin C may reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients: a meta-regression analysis

ConclusionsWe found strong evidence that vitamin C shortens the duration of mechanical ventilation, but the magnitude of the effect seems to depend on the duration of ventilation in the untreated control group. The level of baseline illness severity should be considered in further research. Different doses should be compared directly in future trials.
