MICROBIOLOGY
Urine ketones +++ Albumin : nil Sugar : 2% Pus cells: 2-3 Epithelial cells: 1-2
Rx: IVF NS bolus @ 20 ml/ kg over 1 hr.
400ml followed by ½ NS @ 117 ml/ hr
Actrapid insulin iv 5 units qid
TIME THERAPY
1ST HOUR 10-20ml/kg iv bolus 0.9% NaCl or RL.insulin drip at 0.05 to 0.1µ/kg/hr20 ml/kg x 20 kg= 400ml iv bolus
2nd HOUR until DKA resolution
0.45% Saline plus continue insulin drip5% glucose if blood sugar less than 250mg/dl
DKA Treatment Protocol
Note that the initial iv bolus is considered part of the total fluid allowed in the first 24 hrs and is subtracted before calculating the iv rate.
Maintenance (24 hrs)= 100 ml/kg(for the first 10 kg)+ 50 ml/kg (for the 2nd 10 kg) + 25 ml/kg(for all remaining kg)
i.e. 1000+(50 x 9)= 1450ml
i.v rate= 85 ml/kg + maintenance – bolus 23 hrs
(85 x 19 )+ 1450 – 400 23
