Background: Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) induction agent selection remains a heavily debated matter. Etomidate causes adrenal suppression in critically ill patients triggering a groundswell of support in favor of ketamine. (Albert 2011, Jabre 2009) However, the existing literature comparing etomidate and ketamine is conflicting. In 2017, a single-centered, retrospective study found a lower incidence of clinical hypotension with ketamine compared to etomidate following endotracheal intubation

Background: Vitamin C dissociates to ascorbate at physiological pH and is not organically synthesized by the human body. Vitamin C can function as an antioxidant and may mitigate endothelial oxidative stress in sepsis. (Amrein 2018) A small, single-center, before-and-after study utilized a sepsis cocktail consisting of IV thiamine, hydrocortisone, and vitamin C and discovered a significant decrease in mortality compared to the control group.
