P DKA


4) Increased emphasis of restoration of circulating volume and treatment of shock ( previously the emphasis was of caution with fluids and early use of ionotropes). This is now replaced with measured fluid administration to ensure adequate circulating volumes before ionotropres.
-In mild , Moderate or severe DKA  those who need IV fluids – ALL should have 10mls/kg bolus over 60 mins( subtracted from fluids calculated)- (not done previously)
-Those in shock – APLS definition – Tachycardia( poor pulse volume) and increased central CRT with decreased conscious level- initial 20mls/Kg bolus ( previously 10mls/Kg) and repeated boluses of 10mls/kg up to total 40mls/Kg (previously not allowed)…Not subtracted from rest of calculated fluid deficit ( was previously deducted
