Save this for your next DKA case. Hashtags: #DKA #DiabeticKetoacidosis #DKAManagement #EmergencyMedicine #capcat__edit
Doc, now me at a low resource facility where it can take hours to days before getting electrolytes, would it be wrong if I start iv insulin with a prophylactic dosage of iv potassium ?

. give fluids and fluids and fluids, fluids, fluids, fluids, fluids, fluids...RL is the choice
. NEVER forget phosphorous as well. that's why you do extended electrolytes. insulin also takes phosphorus into cells. severe hypophosphatemia can cause cardiac arrhythmias

always correct the physiology before giving insulin that's by giving iv fluids since DKA involves massive dehydration

This is how I lost my father some years back 🥹,medics were concentrating on insulin, dextrose and RBS in managing DKA
At last they mentioned aspiration pneumonia as the cause of death

.. this true in an ideal facilities, in most public facilities we assume a normal kalemia state and give iv-Kcl,& give insulin
but if you can access that in time, please do it that way.
