Participant Flow

1 patient was randomized in the placebo group but the blood was accidentally thawed why this patient was excluded. 2 patients were randomized in the Ubiquinol group but never received the treatment (one because of an exclusion criteria and one because of a Boston-wide mass casualty event). These were also excluded.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Placebo
Depending on the patient's ability to swallow pills, patients in the control group will receive a placebo pill or a liquid placebo, which is 50 milliliters of Ensure (a dietary supplement). This will be given every 12 hours for 7 days or until hospital discharge.
Ubiquinol
Depending on the patient's ability to swallow pills, patients in the experimental group will receive 200mg of Ubiquinol in either a pill or a liquid. The liquid form of the study med will be mixed with 50 milliliters of Ensure (a dietary supplement) to ensure blinding. This will be given every 12 hours for 7 days or until hospital discharge.
