Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random assignment to intervention and control groups is done individually. All patients who have polyuria caused by diabetes insipidus in the intensive care unit will be included in the study after obtaining written informed consent if they meet the inclusion criteria and do not have the exclusion criteria. The patient is entered into one of the intervention 1, intervention 2 or control groups according to the order of entering the department, based on the blocks (n=6) of random numbers that were previously prepared by the statistical consultant with the software. The statistician who made the random blocks did not know how to assign treatment groups (control, intervention 1 or intervention 2).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, the participants (patient and his family), nurses, principal investigator, data collectors and outcome assessors are unaware of study group allocation. Allocating the control or intervention group to the cases and drawing the drug in the syringe is done by a person who is not among the researchers or nurses taking care of the patient.
