Abstract: (35 Views)
Background and Objective: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes that can be associated with various complications and mortality rates. The aim of this study was to review recent studies on the necessity and outcomes of admission of DKA patients to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: The aim of this study was to review recent studies on the necessity and outcomes of admission of DKA patients to the ICU. The keywords “diabetic ketoacidosis” and “intensive care unit” were searched in PUBMED and ELSEVIER and CENTRAL databases from 2020 to 2024. Studies containing these keywords were reviewed.
Findings: Based on the results, six studies matched our topic. According to the above studies, the outcomes of DKA patients hospitalized in the ICU are not significantly different from those hospitalized in other units, and only careful management and monitoring by the care team are important to achieve the therapeutic goal of these patients, namely, recovery from DKA.
Conclusion: It seems that with timely diagnosis and treatment and careful monitoring of DKA, patients can be treated in the emergency department or on the wards. By not admitting these patients to the ICU, it not only reduces the ICU workload and allows other patients access to the ICU, but also reduces costs for patients and the healthcare system.
