It has been shown that the stress that occurs during cardiac surgery leads to early decrease of many of the body's resources such as Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which may contribute to complications after surgery. This study will investigate the effects of high doses of intravenous (IV) Vitamin C on the outcome and complications after cardiac surgery.
