Insulin treatment causes movement of potassium ions into cells which causes hypokalaemia. Potassium should therefore be checked prior to commencing each infusionofIVfluid.Theresultisthenusedtodeterminehowmuchpotassiumchloride (KCl)shouldbeaddedtothesubsequentinfusion.
Potassiumlevel>5.5mmol/L:noKClinnextinfusion Potassiumlevel3.5–5mmol/L:40mmol/LKCl Potassiumlevel<3.5mmol/L:40mmol/LKClandrequestseniorreview.
Fixedrateinsulininfusion
Prescribeaninsulininfusionof50unitsofshort-actinginsulin,e.g.Actrapid®,mixedwith50mL
0.9%saline Theinfusionrateshouldstartat0.1 units/kg/hourandshould commenceafterthefirstbagofIV fluidshasbegun Continueanylong-actinginsulinthatthepatientisusuallyprescribed.
IV fluids and insulin may be given through the same cannula, butonly ifit is a large-bore cannulaanditisattachedtoasplitconnectorwithone-wayvalves.

CheckABGandketonelevelshourly:
Aimforbloodketonestofallbyatleast0.5mmol/L/hour(ifketonemonitoringisunavailable, aim for bicarbonate level to rise by 3.0mmol/L/hour or blood glucose levels to fall by
3.0mmol/L/hour).Ifthisisnotachieved,callforseniorhelpandconsiderincreasingtheFRII by1mmol/hour.
If the CBG machine is unable to calculate a precise measurement (because glucose is >27mmol/L),thenusetheglucosevaluefroma serumsampleprocessedinthelaboratory or bloodgasmachine.
If the glucose level is <14mmol/L, add a 10% glucose infusion at a rate of 125ml/hour. ContinuethesalineinfusionandFRII;however,considerreducingtherateoftheFRIIto0.05 units/kg/hourtoreducetheriskofhypokalaemiaandhypoglycaemia.

Examination
Reassessfluidstatusafter12hoursofIVfluids,orsoonerifanyclinicalconcern.Aimforaurine outputofatleast0.5mL/kg/hour.
Ifthepatientisincontinentoranuric,considercatheterizationtoensureaccuratefluidbalance assessment.
Treatmentafterstabilization
EnsurepatientsreceiveprophylacticLMWH(seeChapter99)unlesscontraindicated.
Resolution
DKAhasresolvedwhen:
Bloodketonesare<0.6mmol/LAND VenouspHis>7.3ORbicarbonateis>18mmol/L.
Ifthepatientisnoteatingordrinking,continueIVfluidsandswitchtoavariablerateinsulin infusion(VRII) If theyareeatinganddrinking regular meals,restartthepatient’sinsulin regimen(orstarta new regimen under the guidance of an inpatient diabetes team if newly diagnosed). Give short-actinginsulinjustbeforeameal,andstoptheFRII1hourafterthemeal.
All patients with DKA should be reviewed by the local diabetes team within 24 hours of

admission.Considerationshouldbegiventochanginginsulindosagesfollowingresolutionof DKA. Allpatientsshould bedischargedwithacareplanwhichshouldbecopied tothe GP.

Overview
Hypercalcaemia is defined as a serum concentration of calcium >2.60mmol/L. Approximately50% of extracellular calcium is bound to albumin, therefore totalserum calciumlevelsrequirecorrectingforserumalbuminconcentration.
Calcium homeostasis is regulated through intestinalabsorption, bone resorption, and renaltubularreabsorption.Theseareprimarilycontrolledbyparathyroidhormone(PTH) and vitamin D. Hypercalcaemia results from an abnormality of one or more of these processes.
Hypercalcaemiacanbeclassifiedaccordingtoseverity(Table16.1).

Management

•
Severe, symptomatichypercalcaemiaislife-threatening.Theinitialacutemanagementof hypercalcaemiafocusesonrehydrationandstoppinganycausativemedication.Diagnosis of the underlyingdiseaseis essentialinordertoreverse themechanismof the impaired calciumbalance.
Acutemanagement
Vigorousrehydration
Sincemostpatientswithhypercalcaemiaare dehydrated,4–6Lof0.9%salineshouldbe infused in 24 hours if there are no contraindications, e.g. congestive cardiac failure. Volume expansion with saline enhances urinary calcium excretion because calcium is coupled to sodium in the kidneys. After 24hours of fluid resuscitation, recheck serum calciumlevelbeforeconsideringadministeringbisphosphonates.
Monitorfluidbalanceintheelderlyandpatientswithrenalimpairmentandconsideringgiving furosemideifappropriateforoverloadonly.
Intravenousbisphosphonates
These agents inhibit osteoclast activity; however, they may take 72 hours to reach full therapeuticeffect.Commenceoncevolumerepleteifcalciumisstillelevatedandmonitor serum calcium response. Occasionally a second dose is needed. Rarely, hypocalcaemia maydevelopifthepatientisvitaminDdeficient.
Zoledronicacid4mgover15minutesOR Pamidronate30–90mgat20mg/hourOR Ibandronicacid2–4mg.
Second-linetreatments
Glucocorticoids
Inhibit 1,25OHD production and are useful in hypercalcaemia caused by vitamin D intoxication, granulomatous disorders, and lymphoma. Prednisolone given at a dose of 40mgdailyisusuallyeffectivewithin72hours.
Denosumab
Understrictspecialistsupervision.
Calcitonin
https://t.me/med1917
Works predominantly by inhibiting osteoclast bone resorption, while it also enhances calciumandphosphateurinaryexcretion.
Renaldialysis
May be indicated in severe renal failure and is a very effective method of treating hypercalcaemiashouldtheabove-mentionedmeasuresnotbesuccessful.
Parathyroidectomy
Occasionally considered in the acute presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism, if resistanttopharmacologicalmeasures.

Overview
Hyperglycaemiaisdefinedaseitherfastingserumglucose>7mmol/L,orrandomglucose >11.1mmol/L. It is a common occurrence in diabetic and non-diabetic patients (stress hyperglycaemia), and is associated with prolonged hospital stays, worse outcomes, and increased mortality. In diabetic patients, hyperglycaemia can develop into the life­threateningemergenciesofDKA(seeChapter15)andHHS(seeChapter18).
Diagnosis
CBGmeasurementispartofroutinenursingcare.Historyandexaminationareimportant inidentifyingthecauseandcontextofthehyperglycaemia,andestablishinghow unwell thepatientis.
