Continuing Education Activity
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of relative insulin deficiency affecting primarily type-1
diabetes mellitus (DM). DKA can occur in type-2 DM when insulin levels fall far behind the body's needs. DKA is so
named due to high levels of water-soluble ketone bodies (KBs), leading to an acidotic physiologic state. Ketone
bodies, while always present in the blood, increase to pathologic levels when the body cannot utilize glucose: low
blood glucose levels during fasting, starvation, vigorous exercise, or secondary to a defect in insulin production. This
activity reviews the etiology, presentation, evaluation, and management of diabetic ketoacidosis in the pediatric
population and examines the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing the condition,
Objectives:
+ Describe the pathophysiology of pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis.
+ Review the evaluation of a patient with pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis, including all necessary laboratory tests.
+ Summarize the management options for diabetic ketoacidosis
+ Explain modalities to improve care coordination among interprofessional team members to improve outcomes
for pediatric patients affected by diabetic ketoacidosis.

Introduction
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of relative insulin deficiency affecting primarily type-1
diabetes mellitus (DM). DKA can occur in type-2 DM when insulin levels fall far behind the body's needs. DKA is so
named due to high levels of water-soluble ketone bodies (KBs), leading to an acidotic physiologic state.[1][2]
According to the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes, DKA is defined by the presence of all of
the following in a patient with diabetes:
+ Hyperglycemia — Blood glucose >200 mg/dL (11 mmol/L)
+ Metabolic acidosis — Venous pH <7.3 or serum bicarbonate 7.3 or serum bicarbonate >15 mEq/L
IV Fluids: Treats dehydration and also hyperglycemia
|. Initial IV fluid bolus of 10 mL/kg of normal saline or lactated ringers.
2. Ifthe patient presents with shock, a second 10 mL/kg IV fluid bolus may be given.
‘As mentioned above, hyperglycemia contributes to pseudohyponatremia, Therefore sodium should be
continuously monitored, and higher concentrations of sodium should be used in IV fluids if sodium levels do
not improve or continue to fall with treatment [36]
Potassium replacement should depend on close observation and interpretation of lab values. Ifthe initial
potassium level reveals hyperkalemia, potassium replacement should be held until potassium normalizes,
urinary voiding is confirmed to be intact, and there is normal renal function, Normal initial potassium in an
acidotic patient could indicate severely low total body potassium. Patients with normal or low serum potassium
require replacement after ruling out renal dysfunction. DKA patients with hypokalemia should have delayed
initial insulin infusion; potassium replacement should precede insulin dosing as above.{27] The serum
potassium concentration and electrocardiogram can be used for monitoring as needed.
Ketoacidosis is resolved when the anion gap is normal, serum BHB is <10.4 mg/dL, and venous pH is 27.3. It
is achieved through decreased hepatic production of ketones, enhanced metabolism by insulin, and increased
removal by improved rehydration_(27](37]
Lactic acidosis is also corrected with improved rehydration.
Bicarbonate therapy is generally avoided in children with DKA except in peri-arrest or cardiac arrest patients,
life-threatening hyperkalemia, or severe acidosis (pH <6.9 with symptoms).
High-level nursing and frequent clinical assessments are ne

ary; biochemical blood markers every two
Once acidosis is resolved, the anion gap has closed, and the patient is improving clinically, then diet can be
reintroduced, and insulin can be switched to subcutaneous injection. Long-acting/baseline insulin should be
administered prior to discontinuation of the infusion.
Prevention: Determine the cause of the acute DKA episode and work closely with the child and caregivers on a
regime,

United States and other resource-developed countries like Canada and United Kingdom.[38] The majority of deaths
result from cerebral injury.[39] Mortality rates or higher and resource-limited settings.
Complications
‘The most feared complication of pediatric DKA is cerebral injury/cerebral edema:

Develops in 0.3%-0.9% of pediatric DKA cases. [38]
Mortality ranges from 21-24%[38][40][41][40][38]
Risk factors: Severe acidosis, severe dehydration, elevated blood pressure, markedly elevated BUN[39]
Etiology: Unclear, however initially thought to be to due rapid LV fluid replacement but this is now
controversial as a recent PECARN study in 2018 showed no difference in neurological outcomes.[42]
Presents at any time before, during, or after treatment, but typically onset is within 12 hours of treatment [39]
Signs/Symptoms: Altered mental status, new headache, recurrent vomiting, urinary incontinence, Cushing
Triad (bradycardia, irregular respirations, hypertension)
Cerebral Edema may not initially be seen on CT imaging of the brain, therefore may still require starting
treatment even if the CT head is normal_[43]

Deterrence and Patient Education
Education on the disease process of diabetes, including short and long-term complications, should be given to all
patients. Parents and children should be taught how and when to check glucose. They should receive education
, and the importance of compliance.
about how to use oral hypoglycemic meds and/or insulin, medication, side effec
Dietitians, nurses, and multi-disciplinary home health can be essential team members in assisting with this education,
Pearls and Other Issues
Recurrent DKA is a particular problem in adolescents and may be fatal. Early help is advised as soon as the DKA
diagnosis is made.
It may be precipitated by
1, Poor compliance or understanding of insulin therapy
2. Infections
3. Alcohol and substance use disorders
Psychological stress and lifestyle changes
Psychiatric disorders,
Enhancing Healthcare Team Outcomes
Pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis isa life-threatening disorder best managed by an interprofessional team that includes
‘an emergency department clinician, endocrinologist, pediatrician, intensivist, critical care nursing staff, and
pharmacists. These individuals are best managed in the ICU and monitored by nurses. Providers should investigate the
cause of DKA while providing initial hydration and correction of acidosis, Primary caregivers, pharmacists, and
diabetes educators must work together to ensure that the patient is compliant with insulin therapy and monitoring.
Nurses can provide dosing for inpatients and can counsel all patients. Pharmacists will verify dosing and monitor
potential drug interactions, providing counsel to patient parents, All interprofessional team members are responsible
for documenting their observations, interactions, and interventions and informing other team members regarding the
patient management in pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis. [Level 5]
Any interprofessional team member who detects a change in status should immediately document their findings in the
patient's medical record and notify other team members so corrective action can be taken to ensure optimal outcomes
in this potentially very ill patient population [46][28][47]
