Podcast 667: Lactated Ringers for DKA

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Recent study looked at whether lactated ringers might be a better choice for fluid resuscitation in patients with DKA compared to normal saline
  • Normal saline can cause a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
  • Time to resolution of acidosis was 4 hours less with lactated ringers compared to normal saline
  • Time on an insulin drip decreased by about 4 hours with lactated ringers compared to normal saline
  • LR might be a better choice for fluid resuscitation in patients with DKA
