Abstract:Objective: Fluid replacement and insulin infusion are the cornerstones of treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis, but the optimal volume, rate of infusion, and electrolyte content of fluid replacement have been controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of treatment on pH, bicarbonate (HCO3), anion gap, chloride, and potassium levels as well as time to resolution of acidosis in children with diabetic ketoacidosis.
Material and Methods: Ninety-six episodes with diabetic ketoacidosis betwee… Show more
