DKA - Mind the (anion) gap

DKA - Mind the (anion) gap
DKA - Mind the (anion) gap

I love it when I get to treat a DKA patient. This is a condition that is easy to diagnose, and even though it is acutely life threatening, if we manage these patients correctly, the prognosis for discharge is good. The response of our treatment is rapidly visible: correction of severe hypovolaemia, acid-base and electrolyte abnormalities make these patients feel better within hours. This webinar will use case-based teaching with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of DKA. Pathophysiology will also be discussed as an understanding the pathophysiology goes a long way to increasing our understanding of how to manage these patients. As not all of you are lucky enough to have 24-hour facilities, protocols for both 24-hour facilities and limits-hour practices will be discussed. By the end of this seminar you will feel confident in your diagnosis and management decisions for these very complex but very rewarding patients.
