Podcast 615: Pediatric DKA

Podcast 615: Pediatric DKA

Contributor: Ryan Circh, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can be the initial presenting condition of undiagnosed diabetes type I in pediatric patients
  • Unlike adults, children typically need less fluid (i.e. 10 mL/kg bolus for those in shock followed by maintenance)
  • Cerebral edema is a concern from rapid administration of fluids
  • An insulin drip at 0.1 units/Kg/hr should be started but a bolus isn't required

Editor's note: While conceptually similar, treatment for pediatric DKA is overall less aggressive (no bolus of insulin, less fluids, slower corrections, etc.). Recent literature also continues to argue against cerebral edema being related to fluid management
