Treatment
Rehydration Caution!
Normal saline 1 l per hour initially Consider strength normal saline Potassium Insulin Only if hypokalaemic and renal function adequate give before insulin May be needed as slow infusion 0.1 unit/kg/hour to be increased with care if BG is slow to fall BG, BP, neurological function hourly until stable Electrolytes 2-hourly Cardiac or CVP monitoring
Monitoring
HHS complications
Complication Hypoglycaemia Prevention
Prevent by adding glucose infusion when glucose <14mmol/L (250 mg/dL) Early potassium replacement and monitoring Careful clinical monitoring and central line as needed NG tube and may be nursed on side Avoid fast blood glucose falls (should be <4mmol/L (72mg/dL) per hour; aggressive Mannitol treatment if any early signs of cerebral oedema
Identify and treat underlying cause Can be prevented by better public awareness improved access to medical care improved education in treating hyperglycaemia during illness emergency communication with healthcare provider
