lüll Recent advances in the monitoring and management of diabetic ketoacidosis Wallace TM; Matthews DRQJM 2004[Dec]; 97 (12): 773-80Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is still a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in diabetes. The triad of hyperglycaemia, ketosis and acidosis can be diagnosed within a few minutes of the patient presenting, by measuring blood glucose and ketones using a meter, and venous blood pH on a blood gas analyser. Quantifying ketosis allows accurate distinction between simple hyperglycaemia and metabolic decompensation. We review the management of DKA, and the emerging role of near-patient testing in diagnosing ketosis and monitoring its resolution.|Blood Glucose/analysis[MESH]|Diabetic Ketoacidosis/*diagnosis/etiology/*therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypoglycemic Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Insulin/therapeutic use[MESH]|Ketone Bodies/blood[MESH]|Long-Term Care[MESH]|Potassium/administration & dosage[MESH] |
