Summary

Prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the clinical and molecular effects of intravenous N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in patients with COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) treated in the intensive care unit. The study assessed inflammatory and thromboinflammatory biomarkers, hypoxia-related gene expression (HIF-1α, ACE2, CD147), and clinical outcomes including mortality and length of ICU stay.
