Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

ICU patients with severe hyponatremia and a high risk of rapid SNa overcorrection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Multicentre, prospective, open-label randomized controlled superiority trial with stratification on the presence of neurological symptoms at inclusion and on the presence/absence of risk factors for central pontine myelinolysis (chronic alcohol abuse, malnutrition, serum potassium \< 3.0 mmol/L).

Patients in ICU with severe hyponatremia defined by SNa \< 115 mmol/L or SNa \< 120 mmol/L in the presence of neurological symptoms (convulsions, stupor defined by a Glasgow score \<12 or signs of brain herniation) and a normal or decreased extracellular fluid volume will be included.

After written informed consent, they will be randomized (1:1), using a computer-generated randomization scheme of various-sized blocks, stratified by the presence of neurological symptoms at inclusion (seizures, stupor defined as Glasgow score \<12 or signs of brain herniation) and on the presence/absence of risk factors for central pontine myelinolysis (chronic alcohol abuse \[defined according to World Health Organization definition\], malnutrition \[BMI\<20.5 or weight loss \>5% in 3 months\], serum potassium \< 3.0 mmol/L), through a centralized 24-hour Internet service (CleanWEB™), to receive standard hyponatremic treatment alone or standard hyponatremic treatment and DDAVP 4 μg/ml IV, after randomisation and for a total duration of 48 hours. Since administration of DDAVP leads to an important decrease in urine output and increase in urine osmolarity which are clinically obvious very rapidly, a single or double blind trial is not appropriate. However, all investigators will be unaware of aggregate outcomes during the study and brain MRI imaging will be performed and analyzed blinded to the randomization group
