DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) Protocol

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) protocol involves prompt treatment to restore balance in the body caused by severe insulin deficiency. It includes fluid replacement to correct dehydration, insulin therapy to lower blood sugar and stop ketone production, and electrolyte management to restore mineral levels like potassium. Close monitoring of blood sugar, ketones, and electrolytes guides ongoing treatment. The goal is to slowly normalize blood glucose and acid levels, prevent complications, and address the underlying cause of DKA. This coordinated approach helps stabilize the patient and prevent further health deterioration.
