44
Q

Rehydration in DKA

  • Objectives
A
  • Restore circulating volume
  • Replace sodium and the extracellular and intracellular water deficits
  • Improve glomerular filtration and enhance clearance of glucose and ketones from the blood
45
Q

Rehydration in DKA

  • Deficit amount of DKA
A
  • Moderate DKA: >5-7% Dehydration
  • Severe DKA: 7 - 10% Dehydration
46
Q

Rehydration in DKA

  • Not in shock with good tissue perfusion
A
  • Volume expansion (resuscitation) should begin immediately with 0.9% saline.
  • 10 mL/kg infused over 30 - 60 minutes
47
Q

Rehydration in DKA

  • Not in shock with poor tissue perfussion
A
  • The initial fluid bolus is given more rapidly (e.g., over 15 - 30 minutes)
  • A second fluid bolus may be needed to ensure adequate tissue perfusion.
48
Q

Rehydration in DKA

  • In shock
A
  • Rapidly restore circulatory volume with isotonic saline in 20 mL/kg boluses
  • Infuse as quickly as possible
  • Reassess circulatory status after each bolus.
49
Q

A

Replace the estimated fluid deficit at an even rate over 24 - 48 hr

54
Q

55
Q

IV Fluids Rehydration in DKA

  • Sodium
A
  • should rise by 0.5 mmol/L for each 1 mmol/L t in glucose concentration
  • The Na content of the fluid should be 1 if measured serum Na concentration is low & doesn’t rise appropriately as the plasma glucose concentration falls
56
Q

57
Q

67
Q

Insulin Therapy in DKA

  • SC Insulin
A
68
Q

K Replacment in DKA

  • if hypokalemia
A
  • Start K replacement at the time of initial volume expansion and before starting insulin therapy (Insulin causes an intracellular shift of K, which can cause life-threatening hypokalemia)
69
Q

K Replacment in DKA

  • if normokalemia
A
  • Start replacing K after initial volume expansion and
    concurrent with starting insulin therapy.
70
Q

K Replacment in DKA

  • If Hyperkalemic
A

Delay K replacement therapy until urine output is documented.

71
Q

K Replacment in DKA

  • Dose & Duration
A
  • Starting K* concentration in the infusate should be 40 mmol/L then according to serum K*.
  • With initial rapid volume expansion, a concentration of 20 mmol/L should be used.
  • K* replacement should continue throughout IV fluid therapy.
  • The maximum recommended rate of IV K* replacement is usually 0.5 mmol/kg/h.
72
Q

K Replacment in DKA

  • if hypokalemia persists
A

If hypokalemia persists despite a maximum rate of potassium replacement, the rate of insulin infusion can be reduced.

73
Q

Profound hypokalemia (<2.5 mmol/L) in untreated DKA is rare and necessitates: …..
