Brief summary

HYDRA is a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate safety and efficiency of hydrochlorothiazide in critical patients with hypernatremia

Interventions

for the experimental group received a hydrochlorothiazide tablet on presentation of 50mg or equivalent enteral solution every 12h (total of 100mg per day) enterally on day 0 (D0) until day 3

DRUGPlacebos

for the placebo group will receive one tablet or equivalent volume of enteral solution of inert substance, identical to the hydrochlorothiazide presentations, every 12 hours until day 3
