Aug 30 2016 Diabetic Ketoacidosis DKA is a condition in which the blood becomes highly acidic as a result of dehydration and excessive ketone acid production. When bodily fluids become acidic some of the body’s systems stop functioning properly. Poor absorption at the injection or infusion site can also cause an insulin deficiency.
Oct 10 2019 Diabetic ketoacidosis DKA is a severe complication of diabetes. Approximately 30 of children in the United States present in DKA at the initial time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and commonly present in this state to the ED. 1 Although less common DKA may also occur in children with type 2 diabetes.
Acute management of diabetic ketoacidosis in adults This protocol is for the acute management of diabetic ketoacidosis in patients 16 years and over. If a patient has elevated BGL and ketones but is not acidotic they need to be closely monitored and agressively managed to prevent progression to DKA.
Goal To achieve target Blood Glucose BG range of 100 150 mg/dL. Do not use this protocol for Diabetic Ketoacidosis or Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State. Use specific protocols. 07600BDO767 STAT PHARMACY ORDER Place X in Box 5. For BG less than 70 mg/dL STOP INSULIN DRIP and give D50W 12.5 gm 25 ml IV push and recheck BG in 10 minutes.
Mar 07 2016 Insulin lowers the serum glucose concentration and diminishes ketone production. ADA treatment guidelines for DKA and HHS suggest starting IV regular insulin with a 0.1 unit/kg bolus and 0.1 unit/kg/hr infusion. Alternatively the bolus dose can be omitted and a continuous infusion of 0.14 units/kg/hr can be used.
Diabetic ketoacidosis DKA is a state of uncontrolled hyperglycemia due to insulin insufficiency. Insulin is a hormone that drives glucose into the cells for energy use. In DKA this process is compromised leaving glucose in the blood while the cells are starved. In response to this cell starvation of glucose the body exhibits compensatory
Apr 25 2019 In addition the rate of insulin infusion may need to be slowed down to between 0.02 and 0.05 units/kg/hr. Overly rapid correction of blood glucose past this point may cause a rapid reduction in effective serum osmolarity reverse the fluid shift that occurs in DKA and result in the development of cerebral edema.
Aug 06 2021 Nonetheless an insulin infusion is generally required to treat the DKA. Additionally early initiation of long acting insulin is generally useful to prevent patients from slipping back into DKA e.g. 0.25 units/kg glargine q24 hours .
Management of electrolytes especially potassium in patients with DKA. When to transition patients off insulin drip to sub cutaenous insulin. References . Kamel KS and Halperin ML. Acid base problems in diabetic ketoacidosis. The New
Jan 19 2021 Although DKA was a common problem in patients with diabetes who were treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion through insulin infusion pumps the incidence of DKA was reduced with the introduction of pumps equipped with sensitive electronic alarm systems that alert users when the infusion catheter is blocked.
Insulin Drip Ensure K level not low prior to starting insulin drip Starting dose 0.05 to 0.1 units/kg/hr Titrate insulin by 0.01 units/kg/hr to keep Blood Glucose between 150 300 If patient is delayed being assigned an inpatient bed more than 2
Key points. Diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis DKA is based on the biochemical triad of ketonaemia hyperglycaemia and acidaemia. Cornerstones of management are fluid and potassium replacement weight based fixed rate intravenous insulin infusion FRIII and close biochemical monitoring of capillary ketones serum electrolytes venous pH and capillary glucose.
Sep 16 2018 Criteria for stopping insulin drip in DKA Don t stop the drip until the following criteria are met 1 Resolution of ketoacidosis anion gap < 10 12 mEq/L . 2 The patient isn t significantly acidotic bicarbonate > 18 20 mEq/L . 3 The patient has received the full daily dose of long acting insulin >2 hours previously.
Feb 15 2022 The patient recovered after active therapy with an intravenous insulin infusion antibiotics and correction of hypotension electrolyte imbalance and acidosis. This case provides a new reference for clinicians and surgeons to be concerned with eu DKA with severe abdominal pain as the main symptom.
Nov 20 2018 Diabetic ketoacidosis DKA is a serious medical emergency caused by insulin deficiency that takes a significant toll on the U.S. healthcare system. 1 2 There are over 500 000 hospital days per year and 2.4 billion in medical costs attributed to DKA alone. DKA has high rates of morbidity and mortality especially in younger type 1 diabetic
Diabetic ketoacidosis DKA and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state HHS also known as hyperosmotic hyperglycemic nonketotic state HHNK are two of the most serious acute complications of diabetes. They . Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state in adults Clinical features evaluation and diagnosis.
Jul 03 2017 Change the D10 to D12.5 if needed. If the glucose levels continue to drop too quickly decrease the insulin drip. Regardless of glucose level if a patient develops symptomatic hypoglycemia shakiness confusion altered mental status stop the insulin drip for 10 minutes and then restart either at a lower rate or with more dextrose.
o IV regular insulin 0.14 units/kg/hour without bolus after fluid resuscitation or 0.1 units/kg/hour with bolus of 0.1 units/kg only use SQ if mild DKA. o Do not start insulin unless K > 3.3 concerns for arrhythmia. When glucose reaches 200 mg/dL consider decreasing the insulin infusion rate to 0.02 to 0.05 U/kg per hour
Mar 20 2021 The goal of insulin therapy is to decrease serum glucose by 50–75 mg/dL/h. Overly aggressive reduction of glucose may result in brain edema. A suggested algorithm for adjusting the IV insulin drip during DKA and HHS treatment can be found in Table 2.5. Glucose levels should be monitored every 1 h initially and once stabilized every 2–3 h.

May 22 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.
a. If severe DKA start insulin drip and use MICU DKA protocol b. If mild or moderate DKA initiate insulin subq and use floor DKA protocol as written below Floor Protocol Note 1. This is an active management protocol. Weight based dosing for insulin is a good starting point but dosing will likely need to be adjusted based on the
Mar 01 2013 resolution of DKA and when patient is able to eat initiate a multidose insulin regimen. To transfer from IV to SC continue IV insulin infusion for
