      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients with inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groupsو A and B, using a random number table. Even numbers for groups A and odd numbers will be for group B. The researcher randomly touches the table and moves the numbers from top to bottom into two groups A or B based on being even and odd. Each number will belong to a patient. Of the 40 randomly selected patients, 20 patients in group A in the intervention group will be nebulized with 10 ml of 5% hypertonic saline every 6 hours. 20 patients in group B are nebulized with 10 ml of distilled water and the two groups will be compared in terms of inflammatory factors, Blinding description: The solutions are pre-prepared and coded in sterile, identical syringes. In order to double-blind the study, the syringe of each patient is delivered to the nurse based on the grouping. The person who nebulizes the solutions is not aware of the type of solution. The patient's blood sample is prepared and sent to the laboratory without knowing the type of nebulized solution. The experimenter was not aware of the grouping of patients and did not know which patient the blood sample belonged to. The researcher examines the laboratory results of each patient based on the set codes.</study_design>

      <prim_outcome>Interleukin 6. Timepoint: While hospitalized in the ICU for 5 days, before and after of intervention. Method of measurement: Samples containing the biomarkers are transferred to a reference laboratory in an EDTA-containing test tube, and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 15 minutes. The resulting plasma for measuring IL-6, TNF-α markers is stored by the researcher at minus 80 ° C. Quantitative determination is done by the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay method by Bendermed commercial kits.</prim_outcome>
