22 maj 2020 · MONTEFIORE SUBCUTANEOUS INSULIN DKA PROTOCOL. This is a subcutaneous (SubQ) insulin protocol that replaces insulin drip needs for mild to moderate DKA. Procedures are adapted for COVID-related considerations of minimizing risk to staff while optimizing patient safety and health.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a frequent and potentially life-threatening complication of type 1 diabetes. Though preventable and despite advances in monitoring technologies, insulin therapeutics and insulin delivery systems, the rates of both community and hospital acquired DKA remain largely unchanged. Although mortality today is relatively
6 sie 2021 · Every hospital will have a DKA protocol, which can generally be followed. However, it's still useful to understand the broad strokes of how insulin is utilized in DKA, as described below. (#1) insulin infusion: getting started. Unless the patient is hypokalemic (K <3.3 mM), insulin should be started immediately.
Add Dextrose (D51⁄2NS or D5NS*) to IVF @ 150 – 250 mL/h to maintain serum glucose 150 – 200 mg/dL and continue insulin at same rate. Titrate insulin to a minimum 0.1 Units/kg/hr and glucose goal between 150 – 200 mg/dL until ketosis and anion gap resolves.
Appropriate patients in DKA will be admitted to general medicine floor teams and managed by the endocrinology consulting team using the following subcutaneous (SC) protocol. Rule Out: Pregnancy, Drug use (especially cocaine and methamphetamines), thyrotoxicosis, infection, “spoiled” insulin, myocardial infarction, and other causes of DKA.
DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS – INITIAL MANAGEMENT GUIDE. DIAGNOSIS OF DKA BLOOD GLUCOSE(BG) > 11*- (glucose may be normal in a known diabetic) + ACIDOSIS - pH <7.3 or HCO3-<15mmol/l + KETONAEMIA – Bld Ketones> 3mmol/l. *If Hyperglycaemic (>35mmol/L) in the absence of significant ketosis or acidosis – Consider Hyperosmolar Hyperglycaemic State ...
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening complication of diabetes. DKA occurs due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency, accompanied by excessive counter-regulatory hormone secretion (adrenaline, cortisol, glucagon). This results in excessive lipolysis with release of free fatty acids which are metabolised to ketoacids.
