Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

Did you know that in a span of just 21 years, hospital admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the United States nearly doubled? As prehospital providers there's a very good chance that we're going to have patients who are suffering from DKA. DKA is one of those unique diseases that can be deadly if untreated, but if the patient receives proper care, mortality is less than 1%.
Join us in our lesson on DKA, including the basics of cellular energy, what causes DKA, how to diagnose it, and how to treat it.
