Description
Author: Chris Holmes, MD Educational Pearls: There is a risk of cerebral edema in pediatrics with DKA if over resuscitated. Recent study comparing normal saline vs. ½ normal saline showed no difference in rates of cerebral edema regardless of rate of infusion. Recommend sticking with a fluid resuscitation protocol you are familiar with (i.e., 2 rounds of 10cc/kg bolus of NS). References Glaser, N. S., Ghetti, S., Casper, T. C., Dean, J.
