• On Exam:
• BP 101/72; heart rate: 113; respirations: 32; Temperature: 36.8 °C; pulse
oximetry: 100% on room air.
• General: No apparent distress, AA and Ox3.
• HEENT: dry mucous membranes
• CV: tachycardic, normal s1, s2. No murmurs
• Lung: normal
• Abdomen: +bs, non distended, slight tenderness to deep palpation, no
HSM no rebound or guarding
• Ext: no cyanosis, clubbing or edema
• What labs do you want to order?
• For diagnosis:
• Serum glucose
• RP
• Ketone measurement
• VBG (or ABG if indicated)
• + calculate anion gap and serum osmolarity
• Other:
• FBC
• UFEME
• Cultures if indicated
• HbA1c
• ECG
• CXR
Lab
• EKG sinus Results:
tachycardia
• BMP:
• Na: 124
• K: 5.0
• Cl: 95
• CO2: 11
• BUN: 7
• Cr: 38
• Glucose 25
• AST:40
• ALT:41
• Alk phos:67
• Arterial blood gas:
pH 6.9, CO2 9, bicarb 10
• WBC 13K, Hb14.4 mg/dL, and Hct 43.5%.
• 75% neutrophils
• UA +glucose, +protein, -leuko esterase, -nitrite NO KETONES
• Serum ketones test ordered is positive for beta-hydroxybutyrate
• What is anion gap and serum osmolality ?
Serum osmolarity and Anion gap
• Calculated serum osmolality =
[2 x Na (mmol/L)] + glucose (mmol/L)
• Normal: 285-295 mosm/L
• May vary in DKA, consider Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state if >320
mosm/L and pH >7.3
• When the serum glucose reaches ≤11.1 mmol/L, dextrose should be added
to the maintenance fluid and it may be possible to decrease the insulin
infusion rate to 0.02 to 0.05 units/kg/hour
