Current guidelines for treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) recommend administration of an intravenous bolus dose of insulin followed by a continuous infusion. This study was designed to investigate whether the initial bolus dose is of significant benefit to adult patients with DKA and if it is associated with increased complications.

Chat OnlineDiabetic 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 ...
Chat Online26/09/2016· The sicker the patient is, the more insulin they will need (because acidosis, hyperglycemia, and stress increase insulin resistance). For the sickest DKA patients, the usual insulin infusion of 0.1 U/kg/hr often won’t be enough. Loading bolus of insulin. Giving a 0.15 U/kg IV insulin bolus before starting the drip used to be the standard of care.

Chat Online09/02/2017· Insulin: The key element in the pathogenesis of DKA is insulin deficiency and hence, replacing insulin is the cornerstone of DKA therapy, with or without iv fluids. Insulin will quickly shift the potassium into the cells resulting in hypokalemia, sometime very severe to the point of rsking life. If DKA or HHS is suspected, never start any insulin without checking …
Chat Online27/03/2014· The rationale for such a bolus is to overcome the relative insulin deficiency seen in DKA in order to suppress lypolysis and hepatic gluconeogenesis and limit further acidosis (more on that next time). However, insulin boluses may lead to harm including hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, and if glucose levels are too rapidly corrected, cerebral edema ...

Upon DKA resolution, given the possibility of fluctuating oral intake, use of once-daily long-acting insulin glargine or detemir to provide basal insulin coverage is encouraged.
