ANNA PRICE
Intensive care patients with sepsis are being treated with vit- amin C in a Christchurch research project to determine if it promotes better recovery or survival rates. Dr Anitra Carr’s clinical study is the first in New Zealand to determine vitamin C’s potential in this field, as the incidence of sepsis – the main cause of death in intensive care patients – rises. ‘‘Patients often develop cardiac dysfunction and dangerously low blood pressure, known as septic shock,’’ Carr said. Her research is based on the premise that cardiac dysfunction and its drug treatments could be avoided if patients had ‘‘appropriate’’ vitamin C levels. ‘‘When sepsis patients experience cardiac problems, they are often given drugs to stimulate the cardiovascular system,’’ Carr said. Student Danielle Robson is looking forward to using her passion to improve the bike sharing scheme in Christchurch. PHOTO: SUPPLIED/HANNA REYNOLDS Vitamin C was potentially involved in a similar natural process, and if the levels were high enough patients may not need as much medication, she Getting to grips with bike sharing said.
