Sevoflurane group
Patients that received sevoflurane while in ICU care.

Drug: Sevoflurane
Sevoflurane administration to sedate the patient |
- Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus prevalence [ Time Frame: up to 8 weeks ]How many patients under sevoflurane sedation ultimately develop NDI? NDI confirmed by demonstrating the absence of a urine concentrating response to exogenous Arginine Vasopressine.
- Number of patients that develop risk factors of NDI [ Time Frame: up to 8 weeks ]Number of patients that develop risk factors (electrolyte disorder, urinary obstruction) for NDI.
- Amount of time patient was placed under sevoflurane sedation. [ Time Frame: up to 8 weeks ]How long are they under sevoflurane sedation.
- Number of patients with electrolyte abnormalities as assessed by lab results. [ Time Frame: during hospitalization, up to 8 weeks. ]Lab results of hematology and chemistry labs show an electrolyte imbalance.
- Number of patients with excessive urine output [ Time Frame: during hospitalization, up to 8 weeks. ]Amount of urine output: >40 ml/kg/24h
- Number of patients with an abnormal physical examination. [ Time Frame: during hospitalization, up to 8 weeks. ]Typical physical symptoms of (N)DI: tired, lethargic, tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension and dry mucous membranes.
- Number of patients with urine with an abnormal osmolality [ Time Frame: during hospitalization, up to 8 weeks. ]Lab testing of urine: osmolality < 300 mosm/kg
- Number of patients that show an abnormal amount of fluid intake [ Time Frame: during hospitalization, up to 8 weeks. ]>2.5l/day
- Number of patients that have an abnormal abdominal echo of the bladder. [ Time Frame: during hospitalization, up to 8 weeks. ]Echo shows an enlarged bladder.
- Number of symptoms of NDI [ Time Frame: up to 8 weeks ]Number of symptoms of NDI do these patients show?
- Timing of symptoms of NDI [ Time Frame: up to 8 weeks ]After how much time do these patients show symptoms of NDI?
