Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Presentation of new onset diabetes about 30% of the time
Is a life-threatening emergency
The metabolic abnormalities must be corrected in a careful, vigilant fashion

Diabetic Ketoacidosis
• Pathophysiology
• Diagnosis
• Treatment
• Complications of treatment
• When the acidosis is resolved
![Page 4: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
• Abnormal metabolic state
• Due to insulin deficiency
• In patient with type 1 diabetes
• Characterized by hyperglycemia and acidosis
![Page 5: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hyperglycemia Ketone production
Ketone utilization
Osmotic diuresis HYPERKETONEMIA
DEHYDRATION vomiting
Decreased GFR
Hydrogen ion production
exceeds utilization
ACIDOSIS
![Page 6: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Endogenous Compensation for Acidosis
• Chemical buffering by extracellular (bicarbonate) and intracellular buffers (protein, organic and inorganic phosphates, hemoglobin)
• Control of CO2 levels by alveolar ventilation rate
• Control of blood bicarbonate concentration by changes in H+ excretion (excretion of titrable acidity and ammonium) and reabsorption of bicarbonate
![Page 7: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
• Failure to take insulin (total insulin deficiency)
• Relative insulin deficiency– infection
– trauma
– surgery
– stress
– dehydration **
• Hormones that lower glucose: INSULIN
• Hormones that raise glucose: catecholamines, cortisol, glucagon, growth hormone
![Page 8: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Physical Exam
• Signs of dehydration
• Kussmaul type breathing
• Acetone odor
• Blood pressure and pulse
• Temperature
• Ileus and gastric atony
• State of consciousness
![Page 9: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Laboratory 1
• Glucose 400-500 mg/dl, but may vary
• Arterial pH less than 7.3; bicarbonate less than 15mM/L
• Sodium usually normal, but may be low
• Potassium initially elevated
• Serum ketones positive
• Serum osmolality elevated
![Page 10: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Laboratory 2
• Anion gap elevated: Na- (Cl + HCO3)
• Creatinine spuriously elevated
• Hemoglobin and hematocrit elevated
• WBC may be elevated
![Page 11: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Therapy
• 1. Correction of the dehydration (PRIORITY)
• 2. Correction of the hyperglycemia
![Page 12: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dehydration
• Immediately decreases levels of “anti-insulin” hormones
• Insulin resistance exacerbates the insulin deficiency
• Rehydration will decrease stress hormones
• Rehydration will improve kidney perfusion
![Page 13: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dehydration• DKA is a hypertonic state and should be
corrected over 36-48 hours
• If clinically in shock, 10-20 cc/kg .9NS or plasma expander over 30-45 minutes
• Fluids should be no more hypotonic than .45 NS
• Maintenance fluid may be .9NS until serum glucose is less than 300 mg/dl when glucose containing solution is added
![Page 14: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Dehydration
• Deficit replacement should be given EVENLY over 36-48 hours
• IV infusion rate usually calculates to one and a-half times maintenance
• On-going losses should be replaced• Potassium should be added when patient
voids• Bicarbonate is usually not needed
![Page 15: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Insulin
• Regular (novolog) insulin U100
• 0.05 - .1U/kg/hr
• If glucose is <120-180 mg/dl and acidosis is persisting, it is better to increase the glucose in the infusion rather than decrease the insulin
![Page 16: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Monitoring
• Serum glucose hourly
• Electrolytes, calcium, phosphorous every 2-4 hours
• Flowsheet with accurate I’s and O’s, vital signs, insulin doses, mental status checks, and laboratory results
![Page 17: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Complications of therapy
• Hypokalemia
• Inadequate rehydration
• Hypoglycemia
• Cerebral edema and other CNS catastrophes
![Page 18: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hypokalemia
• Vomiting
• Renal losses exacerbated by hyperaldosteronism
• Insulin and pH correction moves potassium into the cells
• Danger if the initial potassium is less than 3.6 meq/L
![Page 19: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inadequate Rehydration
![Page 20: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hypoglycemia
![Page 21: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cerebral edema
• Paradoxical development of CSF and CNS acidosis
• Altered CNS oxygenation
• Unfavorable osmotic gradients
• A decline in the true sodium
![Page 22: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cerebral Edema
• Develops 4-12 hours after therapy begun
• Biochemically all is well
• If early mental status changes are not noticed, a child will develop neurologic changes leading to herniation and compromised cardiorespiratory status
![Page 23: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cerebral Edema
• NEJM: Cerebral edema that was not clinically expected developed in a small group of children
• CT scans while in DKA and after resolution
• Ventricular narrowing during therapy
• Perhaps, some degree of swelling in all children
![Page 24: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cerebral EdemaPrevention
• Slow rehydration with slow changes in osmolality
• Serum sodium should rise as serum glucose falls
• Hourly mental status checks
![Page 25: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Irene N. Sills, MD Albany Medical Center Albany, NY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e2d5503460f94b1c776/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
After Resolution
