Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ascorbic acid
Other interventions - Placebo

Experimental: Ascorbic Acid (AA) - The first intravenous dosage of 1500mg of AA in 100mL of normal saline (NS) will be administered after induction of general anesthesia and invasive line placement prior to surgical incision. An identical dosage will be delivered approximately every 6 hours for the first 48 hours, for a total of 8 doses

Placebo comparator: Placebo - The first intravenous dosage of placebo (100 mL of NS) will be administered after induction of general anesthesia and invasive line placement prior to surgical incision.
