Filter by:This is the first and only study conducted on the use of capnography in children diagnosed with DKA to evaluate the initial clinical grading of DKA, monitor clinical improvement, and predict complications such as brain edema.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most serious metabolic complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Insulin deficiency and inflammation play a role in the pathogenesis of DKA. The investigators aim to assess the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a marker of severity among T1DM patients with DKA and without infection.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are common, but serious metabolic disorders are often encountered in intensive care. In the intensive care setting, it is common to withhold food from patients during treatment of DKA. However, there is no evidence or current literature supporting this practice. The following proposed research investigates the initiation of an early diet versus withholding food during the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) results in significant morbidity and healthcare utilization and is the main contributor to loss of life expectancy in people with diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) <50 years old. This suggests the need to develop interventions to reduce DKA events. Innovative features of newer continuous glucose monitoring devices offer opportunities for novel strategies to reduce DKA. Designating a family member, friend, or caregiver as a Follower was associated with reduction in HbA1C, increased time in range, and improvement in quality of life metrics in people with T1DM. However, the previously published studies are limited as they were either retrospective, survey-based, or do not overlap with our proposed cohort involving adults ages 18-65 with T1DM (prior prospective studies involved either pregnant women with T1DM or adults ≥60 years of age with T1DM). This study is a randomized controlled trial pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention (FAM) using a Follower, Action Plan, and Remote Monitoring of glucose data to reduce severe hyperglycemia, a modifiable risk factor for DKA, in adults with T1DM at high risk for DKA. The intervention uses real-time glucose data sharing with a Follower (family member, friend, or caregiver) and personalized diabetes education provided to the dyad (person with T1DM and their chosen Follower). The study hypothesizes that the FAM intervention will reduce the percentage of time spent with glucose ≥250 mg/dL compared to standard care alone.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a medical emergency that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality for both patients with type I and type II diabetes. By correcting hyperglycemia and inhibiting the release of free fatty acids, insulin administration leads to decreased ketone formation and resolution of acidosis. Short-acting intravenous insulin is often preferred to subcutaneous administration for initial management due to its short half-life and ease of titration, but patients will eventually need to transition to subcutaneous insulin prior to discharge. The timing of initiation or resumption of home long-acting subcutaneous insulin is controversial in the treatment of DKA. It is currently unknown if resuming a portion or all of the patient's home basal regimen during the initial treatment phase of DKA will provide an impact on patient care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of early glargine administration if the patient was not previously on basal insulin or resuming the patient's home basal insulin regimen within two hours after the start of the intravenous insulin infusion in addition to usual care will improve patient outcomes.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality in patients with DM (1). DKA is associated with hyperglycemic crises and featured by metabolic acidosis, the production of ketoacids, volume depletion, and electrolyte imbalance. Due to glucose-induced osmotic polyuria and even emesis, volume depletion is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in DKA patients (2).
Severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially serious complication of diabetes mellitus. The treatment regimen is based on insulin and rehydration. The choice of rehydration solution is a question that remains open. We sought to compare the effect of sodium chloride 0.9% (SC) versus ringer lactate (RL) in the resolution of severe DKA as well as on the variation of electrolytes.
The goal of this blinded, cluster cross-over, randomised controlled trial is to determine whether fluid therapy with Plasma-Lyte® 148 increases the number of days alive and days out of hospital to day-28 compared to 0.9% sodium chloride ('0.9% saline') in critically ill patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) and deemed to require admission to a critical care area (ICU, HDU) with moderate to severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
1. To evaluate that change of platelet-to-lymphocyte Ratio affect the duration of hospital stay and mortality rate of DKA patients 2. To assess the impact of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on the prognosis of diabetic ketoacidosis patients 3. To evaluate the changes in hematological parameters (RBCs,Hct,Hb,MCV,PLT,WBCs) and their correlations with acidosis level and dehydration during ketoacidosis treatment
The study will systematically evaluate how an emergency manual-a collection of checklists and fact sheets-affects the performance of resuscitation teams during the management of priority one patients in an emergency department.
