Core Tip
Core tip: Several electrolyte and metabolic derangements associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and its treatment can affect the respiratory system. Since respiratory failure in DKA is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, the recognition and treatment of those derangements have the potential to improve outcomes in DKA.
