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
22 maj 2020 · 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.
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.
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.
Based on the other guidelines, and the indirect evidence from children, the JBDS-IP panel recommended that in adults with DKA the insulin infusion rate should be reduced to 0.05 units/kg/hour when blood glucose falls below 14 mmol/L. Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care. The management of diabetic ketoacidosis in adults.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) Two Bag System Protocol [3361] DKA: Blood glucose greater than 250 mg/dL, arterial or venous pH less than 7.3, serum bicarbonate less than 15 mEq/L anion gap greater than 12 and ketonuria or ketonemia. Discontinue all previous insulin orders and oral diabetes medications.
