Abstract
Septic shock is a common condition that occurs in the intensive care unit (ICU). Sepsis is the most common cause of death with a mortality between 35 and 50%. Several factors are implicated in the increasing incidence of sepsis, including age, immunosuppression, and antibiotic resistance. Gram+ or gram infections are considered as the main causes of sepsis. The prognosis of septic shock is significantly influenced by early treatment. The patient’s hospitalization in the intensive care unit is particularly important, as the complications of shock make it essential to support vital signs. The scope of this chapter is to study the effects of ascorbic acid in the treatment of septic shock and the benefits of its administration.
