• 200 ABGs and VpHs in DKA Patients
• ABG pO2 and pCO2 changed Rx in 2/200
• Very high Art pH/V pH correlation (0.95)
Routinely Use VpH in DKA

Very high Art pH/V pH correlation (0.95)
Can an adult patient have “euglycemic DKA”?
SGLT2 InhibitorsSodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors
• The Good- Inhibits proximal tubular reabsorption of glucose- May decrease the rate of diabetic kidney disease
• The Bad- Increases reabsorption of ketones
- Increases glucagon levels
- Thus promoting hepatic ketogenesis
J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2015;100:2849-52
Case Rep Crit Care 2016:ID 1656182 J Diab and Comp 2017;31:611-14
• SGLT-2 may cause Euglycemic DKA
• Glucose values 200-300
• Yet severe acidosis
• May take longer to clear keto acids
• Be wary, use PE, VS & pH, not just glucose
How many therapies should you consider in DKA?

Five Therapies to Consider in DKA
v
• Volume
• Insulin
• Potassium
• Bicarbonate
• Phosphate
......................
Therapy and Rationales in DKA
• Volume
• Insulin
• Potassium
– Enough to re-hydrate
– But don’t wash out ketones
– Saturate receptors
– And keep saturated
– Avoid hyperkalemia early
– But avoid hypokalemia later
• Bicarbonate
• Phosphate
– Rarely needed
– Use for decompensation
– Only cachectic adult patients– Common in children
– Use for values below 1.0 – 1.5
Therapy and Rationales in DKA - 2
How dehydrated are DKA patients?
VOLUME in DKA
• 3 - 5 liters is usual deficit in mild-moderate DKA
• 5 - 6 liters is usual fluid deficit in severe DKA
Deficits: Is aggressive fluid management optimal
in adults?
4/17/2018

JAMA 1989;262:2108-13
Don’t “wash out” all the Keto Acids ….
Let the Patient Metabolize Them
Volume Therapy in DKA
• NSS at 500 cc/hr x 4 hours
• Switch to NSS at 250 cc/hour
Stable Patients:
Profound Dehydration:• NSS wide open until well perfused
• Bolus healthy patients with at least 1,000 cc of NSS (20 cc/kg) rapidly
Begin Therapy:
What is better fluid in DKANormal Saline (NSS) or a
more balanced fluid: Lactated Ringer’s (LR)/Plasma-Lyte?
A balanced electrolyte solution prevented the hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis seen in
DKA pts treated with NSS (x 105 vs 111) and promotes a higher bicarbonate value sooner
• 57 pts randomized to NSS vs LR
• pH 6.9-7.2, average glucose 470
• Double-blind, randomized
• Evaluated time to pH 7.32 and glucose < 250

LR vs NSS in DKATake Homes
• A small study that shows bicarbonate rises to 18 meq/L 2 hours sooner but glucose falls to 250 mg/dl 1.5 hours slower with LR
• No “proven benefit” of modifying current American Diabetes Association recommendations for treatment of DKA
However
N Engl J Med 2018;378:829-39
Is LR or NSS more advantageous in ED patients admitted to the ICU?
• 15,802 adult pts from 1 hospital
• Pragmatic, multiple cross overs
• ED pts who were then ICU admitted
• 1,000 ml LR/Plasma-Lyte vs 1,020 ml NSS (median)

What Fluid Should You Use In DKABalanced Crystalloids vs NSS
Take Homes
• Same cost, same color, same manufacturers
• NSS is hyperchloremic and acidotic
• LR (or Plasma-Lyte) appears safer in 29,000 pts
• I see no benefit to routine NSS
Love it s/p vomiting with dehydration
For Mild DKA You Can Just
Begin Therapy at 250cc/hr
with Smaller or no Bolus.
Should you ever use half
normal saline in treating DKA?
4/17/2018

NSS vs. ½ NS
• NSS is the “standard”
• Use initially to volume load
• Consider ½ NS if corrected serum
sodium is elevated above normal
The easiest way to correct for Na in DKA is
2 meq ↓ Na for every 100mg/dl glucose
“Real Formula” –1.6 ↓ Na/100 mg/dl glucose to 4002.4 ↓ Na/100 mg/dl > 400
134 96
5.0 10
Glu = 750
Corrected Na = 134 + 2/100 glu ↑
Corrected Na = above 140 (145-148)
Use ½ NS in this patient
Once Serum Glucose approaches 250 mg%:
Switch to Glucose containing fluids
(D51/2 NS at 150 - 250 cc/hr)
Insulin
• Provide a loading dose, and then
• Keep all receptor sites saturated
Current recommendation:
Each unit of insulin moves about 4-5 grams of glucose into cell.
4/17/2018
9
Insulin Dosing
• Loading Dose
• Maintenance Dose
– 0.1 units/kg IV Push
– 0.1 units/kg per hour
In general load adults, not children
J Emerg Med 2010;38:422-427
• ADA recommends insulin loading in adults
• Loading dose saturates receptors
• Loading may cause hypoglycemia in children
• Loading not recommended in Peds DKA
• Hypoglycemia seen in adults too!
J Emerg Med 2010;38:422-427
• IV insulin bolus not of proven benefit
Conclusions
• May cause more hypoglycemia
Can you use SQ insulin in DKA?
• 5 small studies, mild-moderate DKA
• All show SQ is similar to IV
• But requires SQ injections Q 1-2 h
• Close following of blood glucose
• Never in severe acidosis, hypotension, AMS
J Emerg Med 2015;48:530-8
What do you need to know about SQ insulin treatment of DKA?
SQ Insulin Dosing in DKA
• Use rapid-acting SQ insulin
• Aspart and Lispro
• Initial dose is 0.3 units/kg SQ
• Then: 0.1 u/kg hr or 0.2 u/kg Q 2 hr
4/17/2018
10
SQ Insulin in DKATake Homes
• SQ can avoid ICU admission
• But floor RNs often can’t do
• Still requires close monitoring
• Yes for a step down unit
• Not for sick patients
Potassium in DKA
• The average K deficit in DKA is 3 - 5 meq/kg IBW
• The ECG does not accurately predict hypokalemia
Potassium Dosing in DKA
In general
But …
10 meq/hr
KCL Replacement in First Hours of DKA
Hyperkalemia (above 5.3) Hold K for 1 hr, recheck K
“DKA Kalemia” (4.0 - 5.3) KCL 10 meq/hr
Hypokalemia (3.5 - 4.0) KCL 20 meq/hr
Severe HypoK (below 3.5) Hold InsulinKCL 20 - 60 meq/hr/constant ECG
Unexpected Death in DKA
• First hour or two when sick:
• Later while “stabilizing”:
– Hyperkalemia
– Hypokalemia
Should you begin insulin along with the IV fluids?
NO!!
4/17/2018
11
Glucose + insulin drives K into the cell
Hypokalemia + DKA + insulin = VF, VT or Torsade's
Always determine the serum potassium before starting insulin
What should you immediately consider if glucose is falling but
bicarbonate values are not rising too?
Refractory Acidosis in DKA
• Dead Gut
• Abscess
• Sepsis
Should you use bicarbonate in DKA?
Cerebral Edema and DKA
• Seen in children
• Increased morbidity and mortality
• Leading cause of death in pediatric DKA
• Lower pH and pCO2 increases incidence
• Beware bicarbonate use
4/17/2018
12
Bicarbonate UsePotential Benefits
Reverses Acidosis
Improves Cardiac Output
Increases Fibrillatory Threshold
Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Decreased Work of Breathing
Decreased Length of Coma
Potential Risks
Intracellular Acidosis
Increased Ca, H+, K fluxes
Hypokalemia, Tissue Hypoxia
Hyperosmolarity, Hypernatremia
Increased CO2 Generation,
Respiratory Acidosis
Paradoxical CSF Acidosis
• pH below 6.9 probably requires bicarbonate
• pH above 6.9 requires NO bicarbonate
Recommendations on Bicarbonate
It is generally agreed that:
• Be “forced” into using bicarbonate
NEJM 2001;344:264-269
The only therapeutic variable associated with cerebral edema in children with DKA was
the administration of Bicarbonate.
• Low pH, low pCO2 levels and amount of dehydration also important determinants
Rapid IV administration of bicarbonate in DKA can cause a respiratory acidosis in the brain
BBBRule 1: CO2 freely Crosses BBB
CO2

CO2 CO2
Rule 2: HCO3 does not cross BBB
HCO3
4/17/2018

Rule 3: Hyperventilation is based on venous pH not
CSF pH.
HCO3 CO2 + H2OH2CO3
Bicarbonate is in equilibrium with C02
HCO3 CO2H2CO3
Giving HCO3 raises CO2
• pCO2 crosses freely
• HCO3 doesn’t cross
• Ventilation rate (pCO2) determined
BBB “Rules”
by venous pH
• Serum HCO3 will rise
• Thus serum pH will rise
• If pH rises, less hyperventilation
• Serum pCO2 will rise on venous side
• Causing pCO2 to rise on CSF side too
If you give HCO3 rapidly IV:
• IV HCO3 (a base) will raise serum pH and serum PCO2 (an acid)
• However an elevated serum CO2 will also cause CSF CO2 to rise
• An elevated CSF CO2 will lower CSF pH

Be Careful!
Phosphate Therapy in DKA
• No proven benefit
• Rarely used in adults
• Up to ½ of K requirements given as
• Check with your pediatrician
K2 PO4 in pediatric patients.

HyperosmolarHyperglycemia
HHS, NKHC, HONK
• Not enough insulin to move glucose
• Enough insulin to drive K into cell
• Enough insulin to block catabolic state
• Enough to not breakdown fat & protein
• Extreme glucose elevations
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS)
(HONK, NKHC, HHNK)
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS)
(HONK, NKHC, HHNK)
• Glucose > 600
• pH > 7.30
• HCO3 > 18
• Osm > 350
A disease usually of the elderlyA mortality of up to 20%Profound dehydration
HHS
• AMS in most patients
• Up to 50% present in coma
• Seizures in up to 1/4 of patients
• Often focal (20 - 85% of reported cases)
• Patients usually lethargic or comatose
• 10% present without AMS

When you see HHS think:
• Precipitating cause- Pneumonia- UTI
• Beware- AMI- CVA- Sepsis
• It takes hours to 1-2 days to develop DKA
–Treat aggressively
• It takes many days to weeks to develop NKHC
– Do not treat aggressively
HHS
• Volume resuscitate NSS like DKA
• Then 250-500 cc/hr
• KCL at about 10meq/hr
• Be careful: older, risk of HF, fluid overload
• I go slower with fluids post bolus
Insulin in NKHC
• ADA guidelines recommend bolus and maintenance like in DKA
• 0.1 units/kg bolus and 0.1 units/kg per hour
• My bias, follow very, very closely
• I use less insulin until rate of glucose known

Ann Emerg Med 2000;36:133-138
The signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia are variable and are dependent on both:
– Low Glucose Levels– Rate of Fall of Glucose
4/17/2018

Always Check Glucose
• AMS
• Seizures
• Post-ictal
• CVA
• Weak, Dizzy
One Amp of D50
• 50% Dextrose in Water
• 50 cc of 50% = 25 grams
• 100 calories
• Lasts 5-30 minutes reliably
• After 30 minutes: feed or D5W
One amp of D50 should raise serum glucose by about 200 mg/dl for up to 30 minutes.
If it doesn’t look for complicating factors like
sepsis, insulin OD, oral agent OD, or ASA OD
D50 Mistakes
• Not needed
• Repeated too quickly
• No secure IV line
• Pushed too quickly
• Given in too young a patient
Prehosp Emerg Care 2017;21:79-82
• Compartment Syndrome after D50%
• 57 yo woman required fasciotomy
• Important facts on D50 provided
• Suggests D10 as an alternative
Prehosp Emerg Care 2017;21:79-82
• D50 osmolarity = 2,525 mOsm
• pH = 3.2 – 6.5
• Hypertonic and acidotic = phlebitis
• D10 = 505 mOsm
• Authors suggest using D10

Can D10W be substituted for D50W?
• 24 month trial of 871 pts, 100 ml D10W
• Contra Costa EMS and Highland Hospital
• Average initial glucose was 37; repeat 91 mg %
• 23% required a second bolus
• 0.8% (< 1:100) required a third
Prehosp Emerg Care 2017;21:63-7
Prehosp Emerg Care 2017;21:63-7
• 23% of pts required a 2nd dose (200/871)
• 0.8% of pts required a third dose
• Median glucose change 55 mg% (32-80 IQR)
• No reported adverse effects
D10 vs D50
Take Homes
• Both raise glucose effectively
• D50 to 250 in 5 min; D10 to 100 in 10 min
• May need to repeat D10 in 1:4 patients
• D10 may be safer
• No definitive head to head large trial yet
