Summary
Objective: Despite the guidelines, significant variations can be encountered in initial therapy for pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the prehospital setting. These variations occur mostly in fluid administration, insulin dosing, route of administration, and other aspects of the initial resuscitation and stabilization. The aim was to identify the effect of transport care on outcomes in children with DKA admitted to the emergency department (ED).
