Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can be the initial presentation in patients with undiagnosed diabetes. Prompt recognition and treatment to address hypovolemia, hyperglycemia, and electrolyte abnormalities are crucial to treating this life-threatening complication of diabetes. Symptoms may be due to the condition itself and/or intercurrent illness. After initiation of treatment, clinicians should keep a high index of suspicion and maintain cautious monitoring for cerebral edema if mental status changes occur. This simulation activity allows students to practice and apply medical knowledge to a diabetic ketoacidosis scenario, promoting deeper understanding, critical thinking, decision-making skills, and active engagement.

摘要

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can be the initial presentation in patients with undiagnosed diabetes. Prompt recognition and treatment to address hypovolemia, hyperglycemia, and electrolyte abnormalities are crucial to treating this life-threatening complication of diabetes. Symptoms may be due to the condition itself and/or intercurrent illness. After initiation of treatment, clinicians should keep a high index of suspicion and maintain cautious monitoring for cerebral edema if mental status changes occur. This simulation activity allows students to practice and apply medical knowledge to a diabetic ketoacidosis scenario, promoting deeper understanding, critical thinking, decision-making skills, and active engagement.
