Trends in rates of complications and adverse outcomes in diabetic ketoacidosis following changes to the Joint British Diabetes Societies' management guidelines
Abstract
Serious complications of diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA) and its management with fixed rate intravenous insulin infusion (FRIII) include hypoglycaemia, hyperkalaemia and hypokalaemia. Revised Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS) guidelines in June 2021 recommend a reduced rate FRIII of 0.05 units/kg/hour from 0.1 units/kg/hour once blood glucose levels fall to ≤14.0 mmol/L to alleviate the risk of these complications.
